I would like to see one of those Firebirds up against Wade Owens with no AHFS.
But, I dont think Wades combo can run in K/SA any longer.

SS/IA(or a common weight, doesn't matter)

Ditocco
Worner
Wilkes
Dona

I would go for this one, but it would probably just hurt my feelings. LOL

Anybody that's really fast in 'B', at B weight and Leo in 'C'. LOL

Mark Yac vs. Billy Nees in V/SA

That would be like bringing a bag of marshmellows to a gunfight!
Damned new blown Mustangs!

How about an entire class of same cubic inch, non blown cars? You know like TOP/SS or TOP/Stk? When 8 or 9 cars came to indy in each it was even impressive to the NHRA people and the announcer. Problem is it was run "after" everyone else, or after the crowd left or as an afterthought. Racers Loved it. Good Money was paid. Beats Blown, versus injected versus carbs with shoe polish. Just my humble opinion.... ask anyone who ran in it.

Dick, that was tried once before in 1970. It was called Pro/Stock and you can see where that ended up. I love the premise but it always gets out of control in a hurry.
Some time ago I sent you a PM with an idea for a "heads-up" eliminator that would work and not get out of control and it didn't meet with your approval.
