Basically, the only car they aren't allowing to run this class is a Corvette. Along the lines of modified classes, it's time to change the "no rack/pinion" rule for older cars. This is a safety issue, can you imagine running a '57 chevy @ 160 mph w/ 1957 technology under the frontend! When NHRA/IHRA allowed the frontwheel drive conversions/comp cars to run rampent w/ the rules they should have allowed the older modified cars the same advantages. Just my .02

I actually meant to include something like this in my original post - very good point !
