Where are the lower class cars?

Dwight, might I suggest that we keep it to rear drive, no turbos and no blowers? Want to flip to see who goes first? Should we start a new thread?

X's 2 on the rear wheel drive. I will be interested in what you guys come up with. Spending $30,000 to $50,000 on a stocker dosent sound very appealing to me these days. $10,000 to around $12,000 sounds more like it. After all..... ya cant even win any class win money (except for what 3 races) these days.
P.S. How about something WITHOUT FI and a computer. I love Clayton Wrights Plymouth but have you priced a nice one lately?

Im sure some of the combos will require g rated tires on your open trailer. Im all for another U/SA war. There are plenty of good slow combos left. Im still not sure if anything will run with Mr Shaw's cadillac without good money put into it.

Yes, the U/SA wars were fun!! Why can't there be a P/SA war or a Q/SA war or, . . . you get the drift.

x2 on the Shaw-dillac. However . . .

That would be a neat project for the right person Dwight. I bet you could build one for almost nothing but the cost of the body/stock motor and machine work. About all I paid for on my SS/AM car was the motor, tranny, chassis and paint. Everything else was supplied by sponsors. In that case the car itself was even free.

the usa wars were just that FUN... i put a lot of work into the shootouts, we ran for $1500 1st year and $2500 2nd year > but year 2 was 1/2 the cars

also there were 3-5 decent cars that never came and if you cant come for $2500 class win money in usa you do not wanna race.

anyway with the ehancements no one will ever build a 4 door, a wagon or any other ODD combo because now EVER car fits the class we no longer use shipping weights as class breaks just add or subtract... just another rule change (and there has been hundreds) that sucked.

OK. I agree on the RWD & no 'chargers. We can post them here or start a new thread; makes no difference to me. Why don't we set a time when we will have our first group of three posted? (Or would you rather go one at a time?) That way we will avoid a staging burndown.

I think one at a time is good.
