Looks beautiful! Let's go surfing!!!
Unlimited budget I'm sure.
A peek of the top of the supercharged engine whispers "I have at least 1,000 horsepower".

I have only received 4 responses so far, hopefully more to come.
So I have revised the listing a little to perhaps revive interest ?
1960’s - Sports / GT, Mini cars/ Small saloons, Early Prototypes.
Late 1960’s Early 70’s - Le Mans / Can Am Prototypes, Muscle cars
000’s has been changed to Modern Endurance- GT/GT3, Prototypes
The others decades 30’s, 50’s, 70’s, 80’s & 90’s left as they were
If any of the 4 respondents want to resubmit their form they are free to do so, and I will remove the originals.

I've voted again.
I like the idea of GT3, it'll be an excuse to build one as I'd also like to enter the GT3 Proxy.

I have tried to resist this theme so far as I am more of an earlier period type, but I think I can make it a different type of proxy then the US one.
And I guess it might encourage some new entrants to join in a proxy.

Yes it’s a different way to cut the same cloth, like a “Goodwood Revival” style. And it does present some combinations we not run before.

Racing Decades Slot Car Proxies
1930’s - Pre War Race Cars, GP/ Indy
1950's - Sports/GT, Saloon/Touring, Front Engine F1/Indy
1960’s - Sports/GT, Mini cars/ small saloons/ early prototypes
Late 60's-Mid 70's - Le Mans/ Can Am prototypes, Muscle Cars.
1970's - Special Production Cars (Gr5/IMSA), Saloon/Touring Cars.
1980's - Group C/ GTP, Saloon/Touring Cars
1990's - Global GT1 & GT2, Saloon/Touring Cars
Modern Endurance Cars - GT/GT3, Prototypes
Once a period/theme has been chosen from the list for the next proxy it will be removed from any future selection.
Principles of the new format
The new format will give the opportunity to look differently at the Classes within an Event and the technical rules which will apply. I will be closely following the CSCRA Technical Rules format whenever possible (for smooth running some details will be different because this is a proxy and not an open live event). With the exception of the ocassional Road Race which is outside this criteria as its based on Rally style single car running format, the above "Decade" proxies will be run as a race of at least 2 cars against each other on each Round.
Compliance with the Technical Rules
The cars will be checked as they arrive for compliance to the rules and entrants advised immediately if there are issues to be resolved. In the event of non compliance at the beginning of the first round the cars will be allocated penalties proportional to the degree of non compliance and these will be applied at the end of the series (as deducted points from the total) unless the entrant chooses to fix the issue during the series (this may result in loosing points for a missed round).
