Those cars are there as a "booster" to increase the presence of the CJ's and the DP cars. The real focus is on the higher classed cars. When I raced in SS/B with my Corvette I ran SE Buchannan in a new Dodge SS/AM at Brainerd. They shut us off in the water and made a big deal with the crowd about the fastest Chevrolet against the new generation muscle car that Chrysler had in Super Stock. I had a .502 light. You can guess the outcome.
