SCCA Early Days Proxy - Just Noodling........

[Brumos RSR]

Started building a Porsche 904, I have both slimline 14k and 18k motors so keep me posted. I'll take # 3 on this one

One of my all-time favorites, that's for sure!

So many cars are possible! I'd be interested as well. Count me in if it becomes a scheduled proxy!

[Audi1]

Thanks Don, I'm sure it will be, but we want to focus on the Can-Am Proxy right now; when it's off and running we'll put up the details on this one. There are some great cars to choose from. I'm thinking maybe two classes; like it was back then in SCCA; stock and modified.

How about one of Brian Lister's Jaguars; they ran SCCA, too........

I got a resin birdcage, I’ve been wondering what it’s going to do now I know race time !!!!

It will be a go, Rossko. Look for more details after the Can-Am proxy starts up; probably right after May 1st. A birdcage Maserati would be perfect for this racing series.

I would be interested.

This proxy will be a go. We just need to get the Can-Am proxy off and running before we dive headlong into this one.

Here's a little something extra for everyone To consider:

I've been in touch with Thompson (studioRS) about decals for this proxy. Thompson has done custom decals for the past two La Carrera PanAmericana proxies and has turned out some very attractive and creative pieces for us. I approached him about doing some division/class designations for the SCCA proxy, so that the cars would have something visual that ties them all together.

SCCA races were, for the most part, broken into Production and Modified divisions. Each division had several classes; A Production, B Production, C Production, etc., and A Modified, B Modified, C Modified, etc. The division/classes were simply labeled on the sides of the car; generally behind the front wheel wells or in front of the rear wheel wells, as: AP, BP, CP, etc. and AM, BM, CM, etc. So, the thought was to do the same thing for the cars in the proxy series. Here are some pics of the division/class logos for some typical SCCA racers:







The idea that we're working on is that Thompson would do a sheet of decals (both divisions;: Production and Modified, and all classes: A, B, C, etc.) on clear decal paper in both a light cream and a black, and a sheet of period logos; including the SCCA Club Racing logo, on white decal paper (because white as the predominant background color). These sheets would be available to every entrant for $5. So, instead of having a $20.00 registration fee, it would be a $25.00 registration fee per car.

Since there were two divisions; Production and Modified, each entrant would be able to field a maximum of two cars; one in the Production division and one in the Modified division; whatever class you wanted to build out. Probably a max of 20 cars per division.

Mull it over and let me know what you think about it.

That actually sounds like a cool idea Allan. I loved the custome ones for the PanAm races, I’m for it.

[DRW21]

Sounds like great idea, I'm all for it.
