You will at least need a driveshaft safety loop in it, roll bar, safety harness, etc.... One of the main advantages of using a FWD street car that is in the guide is that those are not generally required.

Also, you'd have to look closely at the wheel studs if it has any type of mag wheels.

Believe some of the older Dodge Caravan models are still in the guide and you occasionally see them on the various “Rent a Wreck” places. If Bill Howell still has his that’s one you could actually race.

Don't forget fuel check...

You get grade point by filling out the tech card. If you want points for your division points then you have to go over the scales and fuel check. One year I had a engine come apart first round of qualifying didn't go over the scales or do fuel check and got the grade point but no division points.

Easier way to get grade point, pay someone's entry, get them to list you as car owner, instant grade point!

Get 8 to do it, you move to the first week entry!

I believe that only works if the driver doesn't want the grade point.

Only one per entry can be earned.
