Ron Quesnelle's Chevrolet Monte Carlo |
| The Limited Late Models are Sunset's
fastest regular class. They are minimum 105" wheelbase, tube frame chassis
race cars powered by purpose built V8 motors. The motors are maximum 9.5 to 1
compression ratio, with 10 to 1 allowed (with a weight penalty). Underslung chassis
are allowed. The bodies are made from sheet metal, fibreglass or aluminum,
and are styled after North American production vehicles. These cars have highly
adjustable chassis, and run a grooved Goodyear racing tire. | |

Rob Poole's Chevrolet Monte Carlo |
| Sunset's Thunder Cars are highly
competitive rear wheel drive North American racing machines. They are V6 or V8
powered (as stock for its particular chassis), with few modifications allowed
to the drivetrain. The chassis are also very close to stock, and ride on a specialized
racing tire. Most teams opt for GM chassis and drivetrain, but some Ford and Dodge
powered cars also compete. For 2004, compact trucks are now legal chassis types
to use in this class. These restrictions keep this class very close and
competitive, often culminating to a close points chase through the entire season. |

The Four Cylinder class has certainly developed into one of the most action
packed. The series is open to any four cylinder passenger car (with some exceptions)
with a displacement of no more than 2500CC and a wheelbase of no more than 104".
Multi valve motors are allowed, but a weight penalty is applied for engines with
more than 2 valves per cylinder. Normal street tires are used, and very few modifications
are allowed to drivetrain or chassis. This class grows larger every year
- low cost and a wide choice of competitive cars makes this series a lot of fun
to drive in as well. Three, four and even five wide racing is not uncommon, making
this an exciting class to watch too. | | |

The "Four Fun" class was implimented in 2004. It is a strictly-for-stock
strictly-for-fun entry level series, consisting of automatic-transmission-driven
(with some exceptions) vehicles powered by up to four cylinders. A specific list
of eligible vehicles is detailed in the rulebook. There also is a $700.00 claimer
rule, which will help keep the costs to an absolute minimum. It should also
be noted that it is not necessary for these vehicles to be hauled to and from
the track each week - free storage is available in the pits for regular registered
cars throughout the season with "work time" every Wednesday during the
regularly scheduled practice sessions. All these great features make this an incredibly
affordable and fun class to race in! | | |
