Interesting class to revisit. Could the concept be revived? The 10.5 tire class of the 70's could become the 10.5 tire class of today. Good winter conversation thread.


If you look at the rules, they kind of mirror the IHRA crate motor class but would allow different cylinder heads and roller cams. The heads would be an issue. It was mentioned on another post, a way around this might be a claimer rule. This has worked for the local stock car classes. Why couldn't it be applied to drag racing? We all talk about the costs, it would take some starch out of the money boys, lose a couple of expensive motors. Would the competition be equal, I doubt it but it might level the playing field some for us lo-buck types.

Just to add to the conversation, what about car types? I'm looking at this from the perspective of suspensions. If we had the same type of rules as stock, that limits the types of cars allowed to compete. Would there be an allowance for front wheel drive conversions? How would those be handled? Hate to muddy the waters but just throwing some thoughts out there.
