Gary,

Yeah, the Monza had a 262 V8, most were 5 speeds, if I remember correctly. Am sure there were a few with automatics as well. A co-worker of mine at a plant in Greenwood, Indiana that no longer exists. Bought a new one in 1975. Raced him with my 74 Pinto 2000cc 4 cyl. His V8 beat me but not by much. Maybe a fender or so.

Agree with Billy. The lower classes are all that's left for those of us without fat wallets and deep pockets. I'd say in a couple years, the new cars will be dominate in everything from J-K on down thru A. Some of the guys with deep pockets or the ability to scrounge may keep a few of the older cars competitive. I'd be willing to wager they will become few and far between.

Another point to consider. How many people build their own cars today? They ain't no ready made cars for the lower classes! Maybe we can take a page from the local dirt track racers. Take our dime rockets and run a "Bomber Stock" class. Run N thru W, with the FWD classes thrown in as well.
