Some of these vehicles may be constructed with a tube-frame chassis. They are grouped according to their performance (based on the bracket that a car/driver combination performs). The quickest class features cars such as the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Corvette, while at the other end of the spectrum are vehicles such as the Honda Civic and Volkswagen Rabbit. The Ontario Region offered these competitors two different formats of racing:
