So it figures out more like 150-175 for most of everthing. I like the idea of short spots. Back when I ran my tracks in the 70's (Before the bracket race foothold) we had a "Street modified class" it was based on Lb per cu in. If I remember right we had either 5 or 6 classes and no spot was over a tenth per class. Some spotted races looked almost heads up. It was very popular. Point is some combinations can be equalized through a short spot and the spectators almost see a headsup race.

Adger,

I remember Bunker Hill, here in Indiana had a class of that type back in the early 70's. All I remember of it was it was lbs per cubic inch and like yours was 5-6 classes. I believe the rules then were stock unported iron heads, a single 4 barrel. Other than that it was pretty wide open. Back then it was pretty much geared toward street cars. We were running stock so didn't pay that much attention to it. Concept wise sounds a lot like what is being discussed here.
