Can you inch the Sedan years back to 1950?
I fancy something like this Buick 46 Jetback

1949 Ford Tudor.

Probably just a coincidence but I think the Showdown “Sportsman Class” start date of 1954 might have been based on the first Revell model of a Hot Rod model kit in 1954 ( sold as Revell Highway Pioneers series of Hot Rods for juniors) ??
Anyway I am now thinking the “Hotrods” could form part of of a 3 Event Proxy for American Sedans which would include Nascars, Trans Am and Hotrods. Possibly to be called “ Racing American Sedans”
However still at an early stage of development, so don’t go planning any models as yet.

Nascar, Trans Am and Hotrods... an interesting mix

just curious, is that "The Ring" track?
I enjoyed the race reports there since it all disapeared!
Sorry for the off topic.

So am I running a 69 lowered Charger, GTO, Chevelle SS or am I running a TA Mustang, Cuda or a V3.0of a Camaro? We have had several opportunities to run TA cars recently and if we are running hot rods run hot rods.

I was thinking to run a “Hot Rod only Proxy” as I think it had an appeal as a stand alone theme (like the Raid proxies which I have previously run) but I am not really confident that we would raise enough interest for it to work alone, whereas if I combine it into one proxy as part of a general theme (ie “Racing American Sedans”) I can see more scope for attracting a wider audience.
So Nascars would form one Event, Trans Am another, and with HotRod sedans as a third to make 3 Events featuring American Sedans.
In regard to the Trans Am Event I am thinking to arrange this differently from the recent ones I seen.
And the entire proxy with the 3 Events included would not be until after next years Racing the 60”s has been completed.

I have changed the title of the proxy to reflect the change in direction towards a more inclusive proxy

Got it Graham, thank you for the clarification….I will wait for the rules.
