Thumbs up Re: Proposed idea for the IHRA Stock GT class....just an idea to make it more interes

I'm going to go against the grain of the others so far, by saying I'd like the idea as long as it would give racers who currently run fuel injectioned engines a chance to replace that system with a carbureted system...it would quicken teardowns, and just might make cars easier to adjust/tune (I know it would mine)! Oh how I'd love not having to deal with fuel injection, by being able to run an older version of my 173V6 that was carbureted...with Stock rules as they are now, it's illegal to change a fuel system that came with the make/model/year of your car, to one that didn't. The money/time I would've saved over the years... . If that rule ever changes (not likely I bet), then my m.f.i. system will be out faster than I can travel from north Tempe, to F.I.R.. I'm certain I can find a carburetor and manifold from one of the early 173 V6's (similar to what the Chevy Citation my fellow fwd stocker racer "Randy Hyman" has on his car). Too bad the '82 Cavaliers didn't come with V6's or this would be a non-issue with me!
