Any suspension is fine, Jeff.
I am primarily looking for cars that have the "right" look of early prostock and run ETs from that early era.
We will target 9.7s and add ballast to slightly faster cars to get the ETs similar.
Mandatory is a manual transmission and a willingness to push the cars hard ( high rpm burnouts, dry hops,
"practice" launches in the rosin) on each run.
I know historians would cringe at the my definition of "Nostalgia Pro Stock" but I think we could put on a great one time exhibition race that would be a blast for both racers and spectators at a great nostalgia track-Thompson. How cool would it be to parade those Pro Stockers , all on ramp trucks down the return road that runs right in front of the spectator stands at Thompson !

Jeff, You've seen a UMTR race. You smiled all day long, didn't you ?
Make no mistake, this race WILL happen. I already have a fourth car (72 Camaro) being considered. My hope is to now expand the number to 6-8 cars for this race. There is plenty of time to properly promote it as well.
