so is it alright for carbs to play then if its going to be stock suspension limiting this race?? If so, id like to spread the word around because there are some interested parties there too.
Your call brian since you seem to be spear heading this.

Re: IF I'm working on bring it to fruition. I'm looking for somewhere to hold the race now. I think that this can happen and I have talked to a bunch of racers and they are forit.

Re: IF I like the simplicity of the whole deal. Anything under the hood! Stock-style suspension.
If you can't make the weight, oh well.
Put it on the track and don't leave anything in the trailer! <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Re: IF Guys the Carb thing is truly a Moot Point. Granted it basically isn't an option or the LS1 guy, but you've got to remember something like this is about broadening our horizons abit.
I think some guys fear carbs cuz they picture 6 and 7 second Pro Stock Camaros and Firebirds, but even though this deal is being pretty lenient, you still need stock style suspension. Very few guys have stuck around making big power numbers on a Torque Arm Suspension. At some point most every "Racecar" That some have envisioned, ends up with a 4-Link or Ladder Bar setup.
Theres no advantage to the Carb, since EFI will make the same or possibly better average HP, and have better tuneability.
I don't have a Carb, but I think it'd be a shame to boot 2-3 cars for not having EFI, and just doing something different.

Re: IF If you allow BBCs with P/As, were talkin 900+ hp (if built well, I have a bud too that just put one together for his 68 camaro, and it pumps out 907 on the engine dyno) PLUS, the P/A...The power were talkin here with the weight penalty isnt going to do much. Just my $.02 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Re: IF Woo woo, the carb thing is a touchy subject around here. If there are that many people that want to come with carbed cars then let them be a part of it. I just envision a split dominator, atop a sheet metal intake with 4 stages of N20 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> . I know the stock suspention rule will keep things on a (some what) level playing field. With the rules being this open, and the purse being high enough to compensate for some travel expenses, any body that comes to this race thinking that they are a shoe in, is an idiot. I'll just think of it as a donation to the F body charity fund.

Re: IF PSJ, why do you even make comments on a race you don't intend to race in? Plus both comments you have made thus far have been contructively whack; especially the second one since the rules already stated 3rd and 4th gen.
The only people who will be racing in this race are people who have spent some cash on their car. This isn't a bolt on race, nor is it a race where a bunch of people come to whine. You run whatcha frickin' brung and if ya dang car isn't up to the challenge then spectate or stay ya panzy **** home. Its that simple. Fast STREET cars coming together for bragging rights and a good ol' fashion heads up race.
Brian I only know of one car thus far that meets the rules of stock suspended with the BBC. When word gets out about the race maybe others will come but with people interested I don't really care who I'm lined up next to. I do think there will need to be seperate classes for p/a and n/a though depending on turnout.
