With all the people with muscle cars and the import crowd and now with the mustang, camaro and the challenger. I was wondering a low budget class style for street legal cars. Something with simple rules that somebody can come in to a division and feel what it's like and could get the taste.
What you are looking for already exists but I won't hold my breath waiting for an NHRA track to try it. Beaver Springs Dragway has a class for kids (12-16?) in which they race their parents street car, 1/8 mile, 10.00 or slower with the parent in the passenger seat. In an area where the average parent can't afford a JR dragster it's very popular. Some of the kids have graduated to running the regular bracket program and are very good. For more info, check out their website.
