Thank you to...
Vince Ito, and TJ Hynd, who have been a very important part of getting and keeping the SCCEC going. They are currently working on a few things bigger than slot cars, but we know they'll be back soon. And thanks for all of the racers who help us out at every SCCEC event. We appreciate it.
2011 Rule Updates
.860 cans, "Big Wire"arms, "Resistance Spec" arms, legal in Sport Compact.
Looking for a place to try that new .860 setup loaded with that "D20" armature? Well, the racers spoke, and we have listened. Sport Compact racers have always been the first to use hot, new technology. And Competition Eliminator has always had a class for just about every conceivable combination racers could imagine.
It is with those two thoughts that the SCCEC has decided to allow OEM .860 cans, and OEM armatures designated as "Big Wire" or "Resistance Spec" to run in the Sport Compact category. When you combine the wide open body rules, with the wide open motor rules, Sport Compact is ready for anyone and anything!

Murray takes on a new class, and comes out a winner...
The Sportsman ranks of drag racing employ some of the most deadly racers who may never see the glory of winning the "big race". Your weekly bracket racer fine tunes his lane prep, vehicle performance, and driving skills on a consistent basis, which enables him to make improvements to his program every week. Once that racer feels that he has a car ready for the show, he usually makes a grand entrance.

Index Adjustments and Records
The 2011 Comp Collision turned out to be a tuners race, as track conditions were tricky for a good portion of the day.

Listed below are the records that were set, along with the permanent index adjustments (please note PDF files are not updated yet):
