World Challenge:
SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge
Appendix A is general weights, plates, tires sizes, etc
Click "Vehicle Technical Specifications" for details on each vehicle (approved part numbers, etc).
Grand-AM:
GRAND-AM Competitor Information presented by SunTr
Click the "Grand Sport & Street Tuner Specific Car Regulations ("SCR")" for details.
Note that sometimes they just say "restrictor" or "Grand Am provided restrictor" because they can change them event-to-event so there is no set size.
Basically in World Challenge, we'd have to develop the car further than Doran since WC GTS is a little faster (MidOhio pole was a 1:29 in WC GTS, 1:32 in Grand Am GS). I know Doran has done a ton of work on that car, so theoretically we need to be beyond that. Our budget is far more limited though and until we start having success, finding willing sponsors is going to be difficult. Budget/success = chicken/egg. I'll be honest, 2012 has been pretty frustrating. I think our results are not reflecting our talent.
