I would imagine they have to let you run seeing the car is an import... just has a highly stock but modified motor in it....

I know Ted 454Mag raced at Import wars with his Camaro and took out the entire competition! LoL You would probably do the same!!

Hey, it's an import, the body anyway. You just fixed the drivetrain.

It should be like a Superchevy show. If the bodys a chevy or the motor you can race it. So since the body is an import you should be in.

Don raced at H.I.N. (Hot Import Nights) with his SS and Won.

It looks like they may have an 11.5 class. If I can get a couple more days of practice before the event I think I should be able to run solid 11.60s pretty consistently. That should be close enough to be very competitive.

I am pretty sure Ted "454MAG" is in the 11.5 class. Good luck.

Well if I'm going up against any domestics I'm screwed. So that puts an end to winning it. May be some fast consistent imports there but thats doubtful I think its still 100$ for second thats at least gas and admission money

I think you can run at import wars because of the body style. But there is also a outlaw race on the same day which is for "domestics", so between the two events (import only and domestic only), you have to be able to race it.
