Regardless, 3 big block gt cars doesn't seem right.
However, would adding a 7.5lb class bring more big blocks in gt, or just isolate them from having to compete w/ the small blocks? I'm guessing the latter.

Beachy runs the 400. It is a new Cavalier. He put a For Sale sign on the window at Indy. Some of those 82 Firebirds with the alum hoods, I have seen very light in the 2900 lb range with driver.
