SIDEWAYS Group 5 Class
This class includes all Group 5 cars produced by Sideways, and will commence after the conclusion of the current NASCAR 60's class.
1. To ensure commonality and complete parts-performance parity, only Sideways Group 5 cars are allowed for this class. 2. This is a Box Stock Plus (BS+) class. 3. Only the stock tires may be replaced with suitable silicone tires of the entrant’s choice. 4. Tires must not exceed or protrude from fender width dimensions. 5. 1/16” chassis/track clearance. 6. No traction magnets allowed. 7. All bodies and interiors must remain stock except for paintwork/decals if desired. 8. Entrant may choose to adjust motor pod and chassis screws for desired float. 9. With the simple addition of silicone tires, these cars are essentially ready-to-race straight out of the box. 10. The following is a list of cars Sideways have produced that are eligible;
BMW 320 Gr. 5 BMW M1 Gr.5 Ferrari 512BB Gr.5 Ford Capri Zakspeed Gr.5 Ford Escort Mk2 RS Turbo Zakspeed Gr.5 Mustang Turbo Gr.5 (IMSA) Lancia Beta Montecarlo Gr.5 Lancia Stratos Gr.5 Nissan Skyline Turbo Gr.5 Porsche 935/78-81 Gr.5 "Moby Dick” Porsche 935/77 Gr.5 Variants Porsche Kremer 935K2 Gr.5 Toyota Celica LB Gr.5 Turbo
Post all questions, comments regarding this class on this thread.

Please note: Colpar has put in an order for some of these Sideways cars and Tom hopes they'll be in before this class starts. With Colpar being a RMSCC sponsor, I hope our members will consider purchasing their Group 5 car (and tires) from the shop using their RMSCC discount!

My distributor had the Mustang, Capri, Porsche 935 and Lancia Beta Monte Carlo. They stopped getting the newer models because they always showed up broken. Tom

There are still 4 Sideways cars at Colpar. Please, if you need one, purchase them there--you get your discounts there. I can't keep ordering cars that members seem to want then get them from other places (unless it's a car I can't get).

I broke out my Sideways Lancia Stratos G5 to get it ready for the up coming races. Apparently last time we ran Group 5, we did not tech the cars since mine did not pass the 1/16 rule when I put it on my tech block. Not even close. I adjusted the front axle so the front passes but I will need to change the rear Super Tires because they are not going to pass tech with those tires. So if you have a Group 5 from previous races tech them ahead of time to make sure they are ready.....Also the body on mine is lower than the chassis so it needs to be teched with the body on unless I am allowed to sand the bottom of the body down..
