Saw this over on Solo Matters. Ron and Sonya Ver Mulm's 2nd Gen Camaro has been rebuilt to the rules of E Modified:

It used to be an ex-roadrace Camaro that started solo life in C-Prepared. Then the Ver Mulms put a LS engine in it before they were allowed, hence the move to E Mod. Since the Ver Mulms have been competing against the likes of the Kiesel Sprite and Brueck Jeep required he step up the game. Soo, the pictures show the complete rebuild at about 3/4 scale (shortened and narrowed). It's built to the letter of the rules. Looks like it'll be quiet, too, look at the 'pipe organ' in the passenger seat area!! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)

...It's fairly common in C Prepared, but I have seen several examples of other Prepared class cars that have no cage.

Agree. From what I've seen in at Solo events in four different regions, most of the uni-body and Fox Mustangs take full advantage of the roll cage option in CP just as you stated. The FFR Cobras and Corvette Z06's do not unless they are track cars. Most of the BMW's, convertibles, and other Prepared vehicles usually have a roll bar installed as a mounting point for their 5- or 6- point racing harness. (Can't imagine having to climb through a roll cage for daily driving.) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

...he has to have a 2600# minimum..

I'm not all that familiar with EM rules... but shouldn't his minimum weight be closer to 1800-1900lbs?

The EM rules for unlimited V8's is 1900 LB. He gets to add an additional 50 LB for the modified tub, but can subtract 50 LB if less than 51% of the vehicle's weight is on the rear tires for a RWD. I suspect the 2600 LB minimum is a carry over from a club racing class, not a Solo requirement.
