2022 Tire Rack SCCA Peru CAM Challenge

Tire Rack SCCA CAM Challenge

CAM Challenge

Rumbling V8 engines, ground-pounding American muscle – these are the characteristics of Classic American Muscle cars, or as they are known in SCCA® Solo® – CAM cars.

These muscle cars which are so popular at the fancy auctions have also found a home in SCCA® fulfilling their purpose – getting them out of the garage and being pushed to their limits of something other than gathering dust.

SCCA has three classes for these types of cars – CAM C, CAM T, and CAM S.

• CAM C: With the “C" standing for Contemporary, this class sees car and truck body styles from 2001-on. (Minimum weight w/o driver is 3300 lbs.)
• CAM T: In this case, the “T” stands for Traditional, and this class is for car and truck body styles originating from 1948-2000. (Minimum weight w/o driver is 3000 lbs.)
• CAM S: The “S” stands for Sports and this class is where 2-seater cars are allowed. It is also for all cars that do not meet CAM C or CAM T weight minimums. (Minimum weight for 1984+ Corvettes and Vipers is 2900 lbs w/o driver. Minimum weight for all other cars is 2500 lbs w/o driver.)

SCCA Starting Line will be hosting a Starting Line Driver's Edge Experience at Grissom AeroPlex in Peru, IN in conjunction with SCCA's Tire Rack Peru CAM Challenge. This weekend-long experience is geared toward those new to National Solo events. The SCCA Starting Line Driver’s Edge uses a team of successful autocross veterans who remember what it was like the first few times they pulled up to the starting line to make a run on the big stage of national-level competition.

In short, you’ll be given the tools and an explanation of the ins and outs of a Tire Rack CAM Challenge event, arming you with the information to conquer the event without the intimidation factor that comes from doing something new. Our coaches will walk you through the event information page, talk about run/work assignments, teach you how the grid works, what to do at impound, and the information available to you at the driver’s information center.

Most importantly, our championship-level coaches will help you throughout the weekend, checking in to help answer any questions that come up, touching base in grid before your run heat, and providing support and encouragement along the way. Think of them as your big brother or big sister for the weekend!

There is NO CHARGE to take part in the Starting Line Driver's Edge Experience. If you are a driver that is new to National Solo events, we encourage you to sign up and take part!
