Ed, 4 barrel versus 2 barrel meant "within the rules" if the car is a 2 barrel only motor? use the next wt up or down. If not the chassis change or motor change....I bet this would be a real minor % of combos in this situation.

Nope: no 180s on rules. All rules the same unless condense classes. Then just more ways to win points if you get HP because you hit the AHFS.

1000 ft mark popularity is because they can see who gets there first. That holds for class heads up too.

How is that "within the rules"? Then I can put a 4 bbl from a 290CI V-8 on my six cylinder?
Then Billy can put a 4 bbl from a 327/350 on his six cylinder? Then a 350/255 Chevy can put on a 4 bbl from a 350?Who will calculate what HP factor to put on a 4 bbl conversion to a 2 bbl engine(different compression,cam specs,etc)?That's only for starters.Dick,I'm sure you have great knowledge of medical matters,but it doesn't translate over to problems we have now in
S/SS racing.The 180 degree comment was directed to Don K not you.

Are you suggesting that S/SS run 1000' for class??????
