It will be interesting to see wwhat NHRA Tech ALLOWS to race.

Lots of great combination out there; the blown '57 Fords and lots of Studebakers with Paxtons, the Tri-power, solid lifter, 317 H-P '57 Pontiacs, those '50 Oldsmobiles, '56 Mercurys with 2 fours (260 H-P) and 348 Chevys with multiple carbs and solid lifters (335/350 H-P) in '59 and '60.

The possibilities are endless, but NHRA is not willing, I'll bet, to do the tech research to give us a lot of options. Still, it will be nice to see those 270 H-P '57 Chevys again.
