It is the competitor’s responsibility to ensure cars finishing in higher positions have the correct series decals, and to point out discrepancies to race officials at the event. Cars without series decals will be awarded their finish for the event, but will not accrue points towards the series championship. Cars driven by non-registered drivers will not accrue series points but will be awarded their finish for the event.

Series Decals: a driver’s first set is free with registration, subsequent sets cost $5. In the event of a decal change, or addition/change of series sponsors, new decals will be issued, and old series decals will be honored for one race after the change.

CFF
Chassis Eligibility: All Club Fords must have outboard spring/shock mechanisms on at least one end of the car. A suspension is “outboard” if two conditions are met: (1) the upper mount of the spring/shock mechanism is equal or further in distance from the centerline of the chassis than the upper suspension mounting point and (2) the lower spring/shock mounting point is further outboard than the upper spring/shock mount and attaches directly to either the hub carrier or one or both lower suspension links. In this definition, trailing arms and radius rods are not considered to be suspension links. Club Fords should be raced as nearly as possible to their model’s original specifications except as noted below. The chassis may not be modified or updated except to improve driver safety.
Suspension may not be modified or updated except that stronger materials may be used as long as they match the dimensions of the original piece. Example: the hub carrier may be a weldment instead of a casting as long as the original suspension link and spring/shock mounting points are the same. GCR legal shocks and springs and GCR legal engine components (flywheel, aluminum head, crank, pistons, etc) are not otherwise restricted in Club Ford.

Tire Restrictions: One of the following “hard” restricted performance tires must be used during all dry practice, qualifying, and race sessions: Hoosier R60 series compound slick, Goodyear 600 compound slick, American Racer 133 compound slick, Dunlop CR82 or CR84 9092 compound tread, and Sumitomo HTR-200 series tread. Any GCR legal tire may be used during wet practice, qualifying, and race sessions.
