If you notice all the indexes are right where the brakes for more rules are i.e. 1150 is the cut off for a roll bar. 10 flat is a cut off for a lot of the 9.99 Certs, and 850 is the cut off of many other certifications i.e. roll cage etc.
most of these classes do not include electronics either, I run the 1150 index with my street strip car and I know we are not allowed throttle stops or delay boxes. The class started out was supposed to be all streetcar as usual most of these classes have morphed into something a little different

I race at Cecil during the Street Car Shooutout monthly series which runs April through November.[/QUOTE]
Thanks. I was just wondering what else that car could be used for. Of course, I don't follow much, besides NHRA S/SS and a bit of Comp now that we have a team member involved ;-)

This car would be legal for various classes like brackets, Top Sportsman, index, X275...

Cage will cert for 25.2 (good to 6.0 at 3000 lbs) as well as 25.3 (good to 6.50 at 3600 lbs).

What a great car....and your workmanship is fabulous! 🤩

The next project was to build headers. Did everything I could to get out of having to build them myself, but in the end I had to force myself to do it. Hated every minute of it except the welding.

One side tacked in place...

Simple fixture I made to hole the collectors in place.

Passenger side...

Welding time...

Beautiful workmanship. Just curious what brand of welder you use at home?

Thank you.

I have an Everlast PowerTig 255ext water cooled. I took it to the shop when doing the tube work so everything on the car was done with this welder.

T.I.G.H.T I would not like to be your starter.
