No, the question is how are you going to feel when a 20yr old drags your ***?

My Stocker pretty much fits your rules if those two items are changed. I can add the weight and the mufflers if I have to. If I were being greedy I would ask that the weights be lower and for mufflers to be optional! If the rules are set soon and my car fits I will take out my LT1 and throw together some of my old LT4 Top Stock stuff for this race.

Something brought to my attention I would like to throw out there. It makes good sense.

quoted from the source:
"if you allow SS(Stock Eliminator) cars it will kill the class for the grassroots racer. There are plenty of races available to the SS cars but nothing for the joe blow NA LTx guys. I fear that if joe blow finds out a SS car will show that they wont."

I agree with this but I would also like to accomodate the Stock Eliminator cars. Any ideas how I could kill two birds with one stone?

I would agree. Tires are fairly cheap, maybe make the max tire size a 27" or 28", so it could even up the field more?

No...they are 29.5 max right now. We should not go down on that.

Gizmo.. I would love to see your car run and the more we see for this event the better it will get....but it is solely a race car.

now the rules do not state it has to be a street car, but as Tony and the person stated there are plenty of races for your car. I attended last year and seen nothing but street cars. This was what I seen on the forums and in attendance at the event.

now some may not see my car as a street car since I have no use for heat or A/C, but it is. I drive it everywhere and I have actually thought about driving it to the event. The problem with me is I'm to damn **** about the car and would be angry to get it dirty if it rained..oh yeh...no wipers, but again I don't drive it in the rain + they may go back on to run extreme street since I'm torn between HU NA and XS.

anyway...I hope Tony can make things work out and you still show. I would love to check out your car and talk to you about some of the SS tricks.

BTW : it's going to suck waiting until May for this event

If you new anything about running a N/A car with an automatic you should be begging for a 30" radial.
