I would think this would be a cheaper way for S and SS to survive than the High Buck open rules as they have progressed.

Interesting post Dick. I would like for you and others to elaborate further.

How do you think something like pre 1975 vehicles that originally came with V-8 engines (to keep the Vega/Pinto etc out), 3200 lbs, 10.5 inch tire max, 350/385 hp 'Fast Burn' and body & chassis rules same as stock eliminator would work? Maybe even a certain weight bias front to rear to help keep exotic (ie costly) parts and labor out of the picture.

Maybe use a engine claimer to help keep costs down?

I think the ASA oval track series did something like this with good results a few years ago, with a claimer rule.

Might give some here a topic to help pass the winter blues.
