tlarocque,
I drive with the Spec 911 crowd in Oregon and Northern California. There are many variables within
the rules to attempt to equalize performance of our cars since so many different engine packages exist
throughout the production of the LWB 911's from 1969-1989.
Spec weights:
2.7 cars - 2300 lbs with driver
3.0 with carbs or EFI - 2350
3.2 with stock intake - 2350
3.0 with 964 plenum EFI - 2400
Trophy weight:
1st place finish - 75 lbs
2nd place finish - 50 lbs
3rd place finish - 25 lbs
Maximum trophy weight - 150 lbs
Driver may take out 25 lbs for each non-podium finish
Top 6 qualifier redraw for position: The top 6 qualifiers draw cards at random
for starting position. This allows someone who qualified 6th to potentially
draw the pole. This makes the drivers have to earn their finishing position and
has really made for great racing without creating any race start problems.
There are low-budget cars in our field that do very well. The better drivers are
usually at the front. Check out Tyson Schmidt's many wins with a stock internal
3.2 with a custom chip.
We also have a great bunch of guys to race with. Our spec 911 fields are usually
at least 16-18 cars at most of the california races and we are growing every year.
Come on out and check out one of the races.

Chris,
A CIS car would be at 2350 with driver, so it would likely be at a great disadvantage. Throw some carbs on it, though and you are good to go.
My car is a 1978 euro non-sunroof coupe. Fiberglass front and rear bumpers and fiberglass 3.8rs decklid. I do have lexan rear quarters and rear window, although it isn't needed. All fenders are steel. Doors are gutted. I weigh 170 lbs and need 50 lbs of ballast to make the minimum weight with 1/2 tank
at the end of a race, which includes one of the large cool shirt coolers.
