I can backup Todd's statement about barely making it in for a 128 car show at a Division 1 race....

I had my Firebird in A/FIA a few years ago and was 200+ lbs overweight.
I raced in A to avoid the real fast B cars....
My car was pretty slow as I was just getting going with a car like this....EFI LT-1 home built engine and fuel map...and it was not to good back than...

I made a decent first run in cool air and never gave a thought to possibly being bumped out of the field.....

I wound up 120 something out of a 150 something car field....but was worried I would be bumped out as more and more cars showed up....

I think I bulbed in round one for the umpteenth time it seemed like.....but at least I got to race....

If I knew it was going to be like that I could have probably sped it up more than enough to be solidly in the field....The weight was pretty much fixed where it was.....but I could have tried some other common speeder upper tricks....

I liked it though and I felt pretty proud just to be able to get in....

No where near as many cars the last few years.....
