• PRO-Class vehicles must be 1972 or older in appearance, representing a production car.


So does this rule mean that a 1973 F-body or Mustang is legal for pro class as both appear 1972 or older in appearance?

And thanks for clarifying the rules Ed!

Cheers

James,
If the vehicle has 1972 or older front and backend in appearance and to the normal guy it appears to be a 1972 or older car it will be at the event and able to run, get awards and enjoy all parts of a Goodguys event.

I hope this answers your question.

Now lets go have fun with cars.....

Thanks Ed I appreciate the update as we want to compete at events with the new 1973 Yellow "WarPath Project " Trans Am build this summer and frankly I was concerned about that option up until this announcement...
