That's how I read it, but see
http://www.msauk.org/uploadedfiles/msa_forms/bluebooks/12/317_328_Specific_Regulations_for_Sprints,_Hill_Climbs_and_Drag_Racing_(S).pdf
Read section 12

jeffw post refers to a championships classes not the national classes. To be honest, its a ballache with differing classes nationally. Cars that are
legal for a region, may not be legal for the same class nationally and vice versa. the MSA tried to tidy that up a few years ago by stiplulating
categories, but still allow organisers to create their own subdivisions or additional regs within teh SRs (supplementary regs supplied with event
entry form). Not a problem if you only compete at one venue or one region, but if you want to compete nationally and do all the great tracks/hills, it
can be a PITA. From what ive seen, 7types do tend to fall foul more than most (as Jim pointed out, to screen or not to screen etc)
If the cars road legal in Sports Libre you dont need a National A Open licence either, so Sports Libres not as bad as some portray. Personally i
thinks its the best class for the tinkerer, as the regs are very open, although it does mean one day you will have a an engined changed tin-top in
your class, the next a Radical or FTD chasing single seater

All of the regs I've seen for the South East tend to look just like that. You may well be correct that it changes else where, I don't
know.

"my name's Daniel and I'm a seven addict!"
Sorry couldn't resist
On a more serious note I've been toying with doing what your doing, I think I would be going for a seven something reasonably priced with any
engine Cec or bec as long as spec is reasonable. Save some pennies for decent rubber and a good set of suspension, Do a season find your feet and then
upgrade engine to whatever class you fancy most.

thats what i was thinking. im not just a 7 addict. been throught 2x imprezas and an evo 8 but they were expensive to run!
i build the cars to a good spec,spend a fortune and dont dare drive them hard as i get attactched to them and cant afford to damage/blow them up.
my s2000 powered mnr is pounding the tracks in southern france and the caterham busa is on its way to austria!
im gona buy a built car this time and and try my luck! been offered a great deal on a car and trailer package so might bite the bullet

Hi Jeff
Yup totally different up here - Dan's in Cumbria so using the class structure that's the commonest locally, your classes 7 & 8 are our
2a, 2b, 2c & 2d!

The important bit is this:-
Get a car you like, doesn't matter what it is as it'll fit in one class or another (assuming here we're still talking about a Kit -
or close to a kit - of some description!) and get out there and have a damn good laugh, you'll not find a friendlier place to have some
motorsport fun that your average hillclimb paddock.
