1) use of stock rims, dot slicks & old fashion traction bars (REWARD=MOVE DOWN ONE CLASS)

2) use of full exhaust system (REWARD=MOVE DOWN ONE CLASS)

3) use factory T-10, muncie, toploader trans (REWARD=MOVE DOWN ONE CLASS)

4) use street equipment, pwr steer, alt, factory water pump, pwr brake booster, wipers (REWARD=MOVE DOWN ONE CLASS)

This would really boost car counts and I would be the first guy in line to sign up because now I could compete with my Firebird in class L or M instead of H or i without having to spend a fortune. It would appeal to the stock appearing types too.

what's a guy running v/s gonna do?
