Lead Sled class

What class will a 1966 Miller Meteor fit in? Weighs about 7000ish.
Also, can the sick dude ride in it while racing? Seems someone did that recently. VALDEZ

Check it out, wise guy. They exist with no-one to build them. But I DO like the Blues Brothers car.

This sled wasn't shifting right so we dug out the shop manual that came with it. In top engine photo notice a thing-a-ma-jig with wires below carb. That was a stuck two stage solenoid that should touch a bell crank. Could not find parts on the planet so we drilled the brads, repaired guts and tie wrapped back together. Rigged a lever on our incorrect carb and BAM. At 40% throttle the shift kick down and at 60% you hear a click in the tranny and the stator blades in the convertor go to performance mode. Pretty slick for 1966. That with the 3:40ish pos truck axle makes for a little pep in this baby. Plan on having it ready for Houston Spring Nationals.

WHO YOU GONNA CALL????
