Question for Class Racers.

I agree with Billy--as long as they are not trying to pass it off as 'legit' and try to run an xHRA race. If they want to cruise around, or bracket race it, fine.

I have no problem with a 'tribute car' design; as long as they do not try and pass it off as the actual car. Case in point: at Quaker City in the mid 90's during a muscle car nostalgia race, there were FOUR 1963 Plymouths; all represented as ex-Arlen Vanke 'Old Brownie' cars. One problem--Arnie only ever had ONE. That part I do have a problem with. If you want to bill your car as a 'tribute' car, fine. But do not try and claim it as the real deal. I saw, a few years ago, a late 1970's Mopar wagon in a grocery store parking lot. Regular street car. Was painted up with a Division 4 number (4472 or something?) and U/SA on the windows. I asked the guy about it, he said he saw a similar car in a racing magazine years ago, and wanted to make his street car look like it.

I would like to know more information about that gold Chevelle. I see Butler PA and D/D Engines on it, which both are pretty close to me. In '68-'70, Dad was in Vietnam, so he would not have been here then. Who did, or does, have it ?
