You don't have to have a claimer head, it was just an idea. They let brodix inspect them in the roundy rounders. But they limit the ports, which is fine with me. They allow polishing the combustion chamber, and angle milling. It just makes it easier to police when they are totally looking at the ports. The way we stopped them from shifting clutchless, was had a roll bar mounted camera available for a $25 dollar protest, and protested car would have a chance to make 3 runs, and one must be within.001 in 60 ft, and .002 in the 1/8th mile to be legal. We had a 10.5 lbs. car that had 1/8th mile times that computed to a 9.89 1/4 time, so an 8lb. car should go 9.40's or better. I believe you could approach 700 hp with a 365 c.i. We had 592 out of a 289 c.i. I think making all drivers hit the clutch, makes all drivers better, and may make the auto wt. break obsolete.
i do believe if given the chance, and you do have to have a way to keep the cost down, this class would be big. You would not have just 2 or 3 guys swapping heads, if you drew similiar car numbers out of a hat each event.
