Thank you for any input, Keith wants this to be a big and fun event.

Blown cars versus NA cars, heads up?

Chevy only? no fords or dodges?

The heads up race would be all run heads up any tire any power adder, this is like a outlaw deal . I don't know how many cars fit this but there must be a few. This race is COPO only , if this race is a success we have discussed a factory shootout later.

No way that you can convince a person with a 350 ci COPO to come to race heads up with a person that has a 327 ci 4.0 super charged COPO. Doesn't add up.

Agreed. I do like the idea of racing off the indexes. Just weigh the winners after each pass.

Not sure how much thought or planning went into this,, Brett and Daren I'm sure you can tell them how all COPOs are not created equal. He might not be aware. My 2 cents.

Some of these cars went to guys who are doing other things with them (NMCA, etc.). It may be that they are trying to do something for them too?

Yes I am aware of the different COPO combos but as mentioned there is a few that are not class legal now like Keith's car which is a 427 car but has nitrous on it and I know of at least 2 more that have changes that makes them illegal for class racing. I think a big blower car and a nitrous 427 could be a very interesting race! Do we have anyone else that would be interested In coming to this event I know a lot of you already have this year planned but we would like this to happen just seems interest is a little light.thank you guys for your input

Ok,, I see what you're saying. I understand about the concerns with the class legal racers regarding NA cars vs "enhanced" cars, and why they'd be hesitant to participate in the heads up portion of the program. As far as NMCA and outlaw type rides, I guess you have a plan in place to give those racers a fair shot of winning.
Good luck with the event.

I have to wonder why a legal NA car would want to run a blown car heads up.
