Default £750 Reward for the first 8 in Yorkraceways Z street class

£750 has been put up for the fastest 8 second run by a modified production car,the currant record holder is Andy forrest With a 9.19.
Usual rules apply. -The car must use an engine block which was optioned for that model, and it must be in the stock location.
-The car is street legal.
-Has a current MOT.
-Is still in an MOT-able condition (i.e. it’s not stripped down).
-Road legal tyres, non-E-marked tyres are permitted.
-Times must be backed up within +/-1% (i.e. 0.10 on a 10.0 second time).
-Through the day, the two leading cars will be accommodated in the ‘hero pit’ in the start area, until or unless another car runs quicker.
-The winner would be the quickest sub 9.0 second time, backed up, and before the 4pm deadline.
-Results will be posted at 4:30pm allowing 30 minute in the event of an appeal.

Des,

if you follow the link there is no mention of the £750.

Can you confirm this?

Aside from stripped out matters, which prety much any 8sec will be...

Wouldnt the above clause rule out pretty much any Subaru ? aside from the RCMS prepared cars that still use an EJ20, which was the only block for a GC8 model ? ( excluding 1.8's and 1.6's of course )

All the EJ22 and EJ25 units were never an option for a classic Impreza.

Yes it is true, the link is to the rules to our modders street class classes.
The £500 prize money was for the first 9 second run which Andy F won
we have now decided to offer £750 (only yesterday) for the first or fastest 8 of the day.
we have not had time to up date our website yet

How can you offer the £750 prize for the first or fastest 8 of the day?

Either it's for the first to break an 8, or the fastest 8 of the day, or are you going to pay out two payments totalling £1500?

You clearly dont understand the rules then.
-The car must use an engine block which was optioned for that model, and it must be in the stock location.
That means, the block, and the block alone. Nothing about crank, rods or pistons. Therefore Andy does qualify.
