I don't know about y'all but I couldn't get past the first round of NHRA Stock
with lights like that.

...but the car/clutch is pretty consistent with decent efficiency. Not bad for a clutch using a storm door closer instead of counterweight...

A tip of the hat to all the replies. I enjoyed the reading and education. At this time, the class and organization I was considering is it's the infancy. I am not willing to invest $6,000.00 plus for trans and clutch and related items that may have a very limited application. I am going ahead with the build of my 75 Vette but initially it will be an automatic for foot brake no e racing. With an eye on the manual trans class in the future.

Larry Woodfin, I'm with you on the investment.
The rules makers are stuck on stick shift only. I even suggested a Bruno drive with a G force 5 speed. A sizeable investment for an index race.
I just happen to have a very handicapped left side from race car accident.
I do not have the ability to clutch or the physical abilities to do required clutch maintenance.
I have actually stepped up to sponsor the new Nostalgia Modified.
I wish them Luck with their events.
After I heal from the recent left foot repair I plan on having my Gen 3 V-6 SS/Modified program back in operation & being at some NHRA divisional events.

Adger, I understand about the rules and understand their reason. They are in an attempt to make it look and sound different, otherwise, it is just another bracket race with old cars.

On the other side of the leaf, bracket racing or auto trans index racing is all I am willing to invest in. If develops into a thriving series with good attendance, well, it is a long way from that.

As you stated, I wish them all the good and hope it makes what they are expecting.
