I'd like to thank dontlifttoshift for posting this in that place-that-shall-not-be-named as the ruleset is sounding pretty awesome:
CAM - APPENDIX B
APPENDIX B - CLASSIC AMERICAN MUSCLE (CAM)
Rationale: The purpose of CAM is to attract automobile enthusiasts to
SCCA who are currently interested in and/or participating in the Goodguys
® Autocross events or other similar events for “classic” vehicles
(e.g., Street Machine, Muscle Car, Hot Rod, Truck, Street Car, Late
Model, etc.) built in North America by manufacturers based in the US
(e.g., “The Big Three” – GM, Ford, and Chrysler). These avid enthusiasts
would largely be a new and different group of folks to join with us
as SCCA® members and participants.
However, many of these types of cars may not have a favorable classifi
cation at their local SCCA® Solo® events. By having a simple, single
set of rules used across the country, these new autocross enthusiasts
would be able to participate in multiple Regional Solo® events
with a more consistent experience. Additionally, this gives SCCA and
the Solo® Events Board an opportunity to see the viability of this type
of participation at all levels of Solo® events. Therefore, Regions are
encouraged to offer this program and to encourage Classic American
Muscle car enthusiasts to join the fun at your SCCA Solo events!
Eligible Vehicles
• Vehicle must be considered a “street legal” (lights, wipers, etc.),
US-domestic automobile of front-engine/RWD configuration or a
“pick-up” truck. Must be licensed and insured.
• Vehicle must pass the mandatory safety inspection (tech) and be
in compliance with Section 3, Vehicles, of the 2014 SCCA® National
Solo® Rules.

and may be modified or replaced. EXCEPTION: High-Boys
(1954 and earlier), Roadsters (1954 and earlier), and Trucks
(1940 and earlier) are not required to have fenders or hood sides.
• All glass must be present. Side glass components may be replaced
by Lexan®.
• Interior must be finished and have minimum seating for two adults.
• The fuel tank/cell must be separated from the driver/passenger
compartment by a metal panel/bulkhead. The fuel tank/cell shall
not vent into the driver/passenger compartment.
Wheels and Tires
• Any metallic wheels are allowed. Non-metallic wheels must be
certifi ed from an appropriate, recognized standards organization
(e.g., FIA, SFI, SAE, TUV, etc.).
• Only DOT-approved tires with a UTQG Treadwear Grade of 200
or more are permitted.
Body Electrical System
• Electrical components and wiring are unrestricted.
Brake System
• Brake system and components are unrestricted.
Suspension and Steering
• Suspension and steering components are unrestricted. Method of
attachment is unrestricted.
Engine and Drive Train
• Engine, drive train, and associated components (internal and external)

Classing Options, based on local demand:
• A single CAM class for vehicles meeting the above requirements.
• Two classes (CAM-A and CAM-B) split on a model year (e.g., pre-
1973 and 1973-on or pre-1983 and 1983-on).
• Two classes based on body style; muscle car and/or hot rod (alternate
minimum weights may be considered).
• Other methods of subdividing based on local CAM enthusiast requests
DISCUSS!
