On the other end of the spectrum, Ron Seibenick has a Fox hatchback that runs under in W/Stock. I haven't talked to him about it, but it has to be way heavy for the class. How about a 1980 Cutlass Cruiser wagon with a 260 V8 @ 135 hp ?

Actually guys,
The FWD thread got me thinking that some guys might not mind leaving first and being chased with a budget car, but want no part of a FWD car..Can't say that I blame them ;-)

Sounds like this deal has "Dime Rocket" written all over it!
Oh, oh, wait a minute, umm............. this sounds like a real high dollar deal that would cost the Racers a fortune to get into. It would probably lead to lots of high end sponsorship involvement and make the NHRA BOD a fortune!!! As a little guy, I don't like it. ................

And so would I but (IMHO) NHRA doesn't like slow, in-expensive combos that the average working slob can afffford. Before they come up with a 26 lb. V8 class, they should try "fixing" the weight breaks in their FWD classes.

I might of been the one on the Iron Dukes 4---we did a lot of coordinated development with Paul Vanderley & Harold at General Kinetics and also Pontiac racing on creating SD4 parts and not only making them perform but also to survive and not self destruct---FED 387
