Another option , depending on where you live, is running NSS (Nostalgia Super Stock).
Due to the elimination of tracks and events here in Division 4 this is an option that my own car fits into very well.
Your car (as described by you) fits in without any modifications other than factory style hood scoop.
You can look up rules by sanctioning body in your local area.
These groups are getting bigger every year due to retired class cars, lack of National events due to quotas and their payouts are just as good if not better! BUT no NHRA WALLY.
TDRA 10 race series in texas
NDRL series in Div 3
NSS Inc
True Nostalgia
Victory NSS
and many others
Just something to think about, you could even yes it as a real time test on a NHRA SS combo until it is right.
