Refer to my previous post. I've even read this thread and still have no idea what the rules would be, who would build these cars, how many cars there would be, if it would be a participant-based class, a spectator-based class, what would draw sponsors to the class, ad infinitum...

If you send an e-mail saying, "Hey, we want to run old cars kinda like Modified only totally different, like a cheap version of Super Stock", nobody's going to know what you're talking about, and it would be likely to get little response more than, "OK, that's nice."

You need a BUSINESS PLAN. Until you can put together a coherent, solid program here, you're not ready to approach sanctioning bodies, tracks, promoters, or sponsors. That plan or program may go through some adjustments over time, but you need a solid starting point.

I don't say any of this to be a downer: on the contrary, I hope it motivates and focuses your efforts. Get a baseline, and write it up in an outline or rulebook format, and post it here. Refine, and then tackle the business plan end of things. Just like with any business, marketing, or sponsor deal, the person on the receiving end is primarily going to be interested in how it benefits THEM. That explanation is going to have to be more precise than "Because it's wicked cool." Ask yourself all the questions that anyone in those positions would ask you, and try to answer them.


...if you want to equalize the playing field and reduce the ability to make gains by spending money, limit both the intake and exhaust -- and I'm not talking about the cylinder heads or camshafts... think air.
