This is how its done.
Here are the rules for the 2013 Historic Trans Am O-2 Series

Classes will be mag and no mag, your choice.
O-2 cars and O-2 cars only
1= motor- open to anything consistant with a 1/43 scale car can type motor.(scx, carrera, shack, ranch and the like) if it is marketed and or sold as 1/43 it is good,including a boxer motor
2=chassis- OPEN -stock, scratchbuilt, printed, poured, machined, punched
3=gears- once again if it is marketed and or sold as 1/43 it is good. stock, ranch, tecno, homemade, just as long as you didnt yank it out of a 1/32 car.

5=rear tires urethane only allowed and all 4 tires must be inside the fender width
6=bodies plastic or resin, and must be a body that ran between 1966 and 1972, NO lexan or paper bodies allowed.
7= Interiors is builder's choice but an interior is not required. There will be a show and shine-details make the car.
8= Nothing may be leaking from the car. Gear lube etc...
9= Please mark your cars as there may be duplicates, and we want to get the right car with the right owner

11=magnet cars cant trip the circuit or ground out the track if they do it will be instant DNF for that race.
12=If its not in the rules then its not allowed
13=Carrera guide pins must be sanded round like a Artin guide pin or use a Artin guide pin in Carrera chassis.
14=Sponsorship Can be real or fantasy ,BUT the fantasy livery must be era specific.
If you the participant don't want to have a sponsorship on your cars it must have numbers in the correct location on the car.(Both sides, hood and trunk)
For those that have timimg systems, the run will be a total of 25 laps with the 5 slowest thrown out and run in the outside and inside lanes.
For those of us that dont have timing i would suggest we adopt the David Reinecke method of timing as follows-
"I elected to give each car a 3 minute timed heat in each lane of my 3-laned track.. The total number of laps driven for all three heats would be used as the finish placement. If multiple cars had the same number of laps driven, then the fastest lap of each car would be weighed for their finishing placement. This actually worked very well and there were no issues determining the winners with this method."
You can read about it here: http://rmsresins.com/proxy-racing.html
The host with plastic track must have a adjustable power supply to be able to run the no mag cars on plastic track or you will not be able to host a race.
There will be a show-n-shine event held at the first race before racing starts and the winner will be decided by HRW members and guests.
Now the cars. Any of the following between the years of 1966 and 1972 will qualify for the H.T.A. O-2 Series
Camaro, Firebird, Cuda, Mustang, Javelin, Cougar, Challenger, Dart, Falcon, (1964 Pontiac Tempest, 1967 Chevy II these two must be year specific)
There will more to come( track hosts, dates, fees, etc....)
A start date has not yet been set in stone just yet. I will post that when we are sure, but you have plenty of time to build.
