Formula 440. They're snowmobile based... though I believe they have migrated 
to a spec propriatary 600cc engine. Tends to happen to classes based on what 
is now 20 year old production components. Originally intended to give the 
northern motorheads something to do in the off season.

Then there is DSR (sports car class). This is the ultimate tinkerer class. 
Very small and light. Supposed to be two seaters as is tradition with *SR 
classes, but the rules were rewritten some years ago to allow single seaters. 
The power of choice is liter classs bike engines.


As a side note, these are the only two SCCA classes that don't require an 
operational reverse.

Legends. Originally instigated by Humpy Wheeler of Charlotte Motor Speedway 
fame. Not SCCA sanctioned....
