Ok, here we are again. If there is consensus to go forward with these regulation changes, I'll draft the wording for the WCMA.
SCCA wording first, current WCMA wording second
1. Clarification of aerodynamic suspension components.
It is not permitted to construct any suspension member in the form of an
asymmetrical airfoil or to incorporate a spoiler in the construction of any
suspension member. Symmetrical streamlining of suspension members is
permitted.
It is not permitted to construct any suspension member in the form of an aerofoil or to
incorporate a spoiler in the construction of any suspension member.
2. Update of camshaft
Camshafts must be from Ford Motor Company, or
Crower part # E-57553 FF2000, or from the approved supplier.
Camshaft geometry shall be stock. An alternate optional camshaft, Elgin
part number 2000FC, may be used only in the original iron head. Regrinding camshaft lobes is
permitted as long as the camshaft lobe center is 112? ? 2?. Offset
keys are permitted. Tuftriding or Parkerizing is permitted. Maximum
valve lift at determined points by camshaft rotation will be established.
The only permitted camshafts are the standard Ford production camshafts for the
2000cc SOHC NE engines, or Crower Part # E-57553 FF2000.
3. new camshaft specs - couple of things - WCMA has inlet opening and closing measurements reversed, and there are new specs for the alternate elgin cam (tough to insert - email me if you want to see specifics).
4. Adjustment of flywheel weight
The flywheel shall be a standard component or the approved alternate
Elite-001. The minimum weight is 10.5 lbs. with ring gear.
The flywheel may be machined to achieve minimum weight. Spot
machining to achieve balance is permitted. Flywheel bolts are free
and locating dowels are permitted. A 1600 GT starter ring may be
fitted. The use of any single plate clutch is permitted provided no
modification is made to the flywheel other than changing the points
of attachment of the clutch to the flywheel. Carbon fiber clutches
are not permitted.
The flywheel shall be a standard Ford component. The minimum weight with ring gear is
6.54kg (14.40lb). A Ford 1600 GT starter ring may be fitted. To achieve minimum weight
and balance, material may be removed from the original machined surfaces, rim/flange
etc. For rectification, the clutch mating face may be resurfaced. Cast surfaces shall
remain in original condition. Friction material is unrestricted.
