i am getting a car this weekend.....last year i sold my dad a nissan altima and now im going to buy it back..i want to compete with this car but with the hours i work i cant go to the courthouse so like everything else this is going to be going in the old ladys name.......if i remember right i wll have to have this car registered in my name to compete with it right? but it seems like there is also a stipulation where as the installer i could run it through or am i way off base on both counts....

As the installer you can run the car, at least that is the way that IASCA used to do it about 10 years ago, but in their little perfect society they want the owner to show the car. I can show my wife's car cause my name is on the note too, although hers is shown as primary. Also you can get your insurance to make note of the co-ownership on the insurance verification card, something like Bob and/or Martha Smith if they will do that. Then you have proof that you have ownership rights to the car.

i was thinking meca but all our property and insurance is in her name.....when we bought the house i had owned a house before so i didnt qualifiy for all the 1st time buyers incentives where she had never owned a house and did so we put all our property in her name, cars included and im not noted on the insurance policy except for the homeowners....it was a helluva lot cheaper that way with the multi car discounts and having homeowners with the same company......

there are no rules in the meca hand book i just read through it that say anything about u having to be the owner. however you would be a proffesinal so you couldnt compete in the amature classes. what do you plan on running?

terry make your own comps. just use some dayton reference woofers and tweeters and make a cross over.
