It would probably be more fun than you've had in 25 years. For spectators, it would sure beat watching the lies shoved down our throats at the nostagia races now- all those so called gassers with powerglides in them.
I would build a car to race that type of circuit.

Would they have to be DNE-5s? How about Jerico or G-Force 4 or 5 speeds? Don't tempt me... I have all the parts to transform my late Dad's car into a C or D/MP car!!!! Although rare, there were a couple Mustangs running back in the day. Here's how "mine" would size up:
'65 Mustang, Jerico 4spd, 370 Cleveland w/ Weiand tunnel ram & 2 660s, raised port heads, etc. etc. Motor needs freshening, install clutch linkage, rear suspension work & I'd be ready to go!!
BTW Mike, I hope the Cavalier continues the Checkmate heritage (familiar logo, white body & blue hood!!!)
