Here is an overview of the Vintage Classes and rules for the summer grass drags at all COSDRA events this summer in Ontario, Michigan and New York.
Right now the plan is to start with 4 classes based on CC criteria and then migrate to ET if the classes get too lopsided with ringers. Here are the classes that are being set up.

Vintage "A"
Single cylinder any size, fan cooled only. No F/A or liquid

Vintage "B"
0 - 340CC Fan and F/A only - any number of cylinders

Vintage "C"
341 - 440CC Fan and F/A and 0 - 340 Liquid - any cylinders

Vintage "D"
Open - any CC or cooling

Hopefully this will be a good start, get people out and then massage it from there. I am also putting some basic rules together as well.



CC Class rules:

Fan cooled and Free Air would run together in their CC class.

Liquid cooled would run in the next CC class up with FC and FA sleds.

Open class is any CC, any cooling.

Single cylinder class is fan cooled only to promote small and family type sleds to compete.



Some basic safety rules:

Working tether switch

Working brakes

Belt guard

Hood secured down

Full mud flap

Full face helmet

Long sleeves and pants

Leather boots over ankles recommended

Tek vest or chest protector recommended



Some basic tech rules:

Engine and chassis must be 1980 or older but does not have to be original configuration.

No fuel injection, nitrous or turbos

Any "Gasoline" fuel can be used

No alcohol or nitro blends

No welded skis

Must have steel ski runners - no plastic or ski skins

Must have seat

Frame must be sound and will be up to the discretion of Tech to determine - error will be on the side of caution

We'll be doing the following at our Grass Drags on the 23rd of October, location: Shawnee Volunteer Fire Company, 3747 Lockport Road, Sanborn, NY 14132:

For the vintage show, there will be no entry fee, public judging (consensus) with trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.

For racing, we will have 3 classes for vintage sleds: Fan, Free Air, Liquid-we will be using the COSDRA class descriptions for vintage racing. If we don't get enough free air entries, they will be combined with one of the other vintage classes.

Please feel free to e-mail or PM me for more information!
