Hi Graham
Have just sent payment through for registration.
Thanks Fred

Just looking at this again ….the 70-72 Camaro I believe it maybe eligible?

Mk2 is on the list

[Graham]

Yes it is, on my list it says 69’ which is probably incorrect as I think the MK2 appeared as a race car in the early 70’s

Although Wiki says 69 is part of MK2 most always considered it a one off as it was so much larger than 67 and 68 model years and some 69 (very rare) are VIN as 70s models with the 70 classified as a 70 1/2 model.  Crazy but thank you for the clarification.

I had a couple of requests in the last few days regarding the car lists in Event 3

It seems that I have inadvertantly missed off the Slot it Opel Calibra in the Final rules, this was not intentional, I think it would have been included earlier and then somehow deleted. So it has been reinstated. I am surprised that no-one has raised this beforehand. 

Also a couple of requests to enter SCX based DTM "Saloon type" Touring cars, I can't see why not, so I have extended the range to any pre 2018 DTM cars from Carrera or SCX. But I am not very familiar with them, so I just added the ones requested.

It will be my intention to award both the fastest Muscle car and fastest DTM car in this Event

Chevy came out with the Camaro in 66/67. The performance model was called a Z-28.

A new Camaro body style was to come out for 1970. The basic model got released. But, it usually takes a month or so before the Z-28 does its showroom entrance.

What nobody expected was a workers strike in 1970 at GM, halting production. The strike was eventually resolved. But the Z-28 was now several months late. So, they simply called it a 70 1/2 Z-28.

More useless information at eleven!

Edit: From Wiki - Road & Track included the 1971 SS350 as one of the 10 best cars in the world in August 1971.
