Camaraderie and close competition, all with a cool car largely supported by the aftermarket. The new Club Spec Mustang class offers all of that.
The SCCA was floating around the idea of another spec class that could cross over between Time Trials and Solo, recalls Sam Strano, 10-time Solo national…
I'm still surprised at how easy the Mustang is to drive, and I can't imagine that's going to change much when it's in full club spec trim.

That's funny, last year we both had different cars, now both in S197 Mustangs. They must be the track car of the future.

Does this class allow the use of Ford eccentric bolt kit M3B236A on the front end?

I don’t see it listed in the Club Spec Mustang rules.
Typically spec classes go off the rails from a cost perspective thus far CSM seems to have done a really good job of limiting that.
This class really appeals to me; should I ever give up wheel to wheel racing this would work well for me.
In reply to Tom1200 :
Same. The simplicity is a big part of what attracted us to the class. We have enough hardcore race cars. How about something that’s pretty much springs, shocks and bars plus wheels and tires?
In reply to David S. Wallens :
Before the proliferation of coil overs this is what we all did right. You'd get lowering springs, Addco bars, Konis and a set of A008s................bam done!
Of course we also added the Weber DGEV, header and ANSA exhaust. We didn't have enough money to buy the latest fuel injected cars.
In reply to Tom1200 :
That’s pretty much the format that worked well back in the day.
Coil-overs? You’d have to head over to the Carrera shop to get some of those built.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
In my 1971 Nissan Completion Manual for the Datsun it shows you how to fabricate a threaded spring perch.
In reply to Tom1200 :
Who’d they show as the supplier for the thread collar?
In reply to David S. Wallens :
From memory I think they had drawings on how to machine it. The manual came with blueprients.
In reply to Tom1200 :
Dang, that is hardcore.
I might have a copy of an old Datsun comp manual, too.
Back in the day, if you saw a Carrera sticker on a car, you knew the driver was serious.
