Where is this going to run?
Local
NHRA
IHRA
Points meets

Run wherever, and whenever anyone gets behind it enough to have some pull. Will it happen? Probably not, but it's sure fun discussing.

Snorkel scoops only, might be a good addition.

OK, I've heard enough about Brodix heads, do they make them for all motors, Mopar, Amc, Ford,etc.?

Absolutely NO auto's; 4 speeds only, cast heads, alum. intake, holley or equivilant 750cfm, any compression, 750 lift cam max, aftermarket steel rods, roller rockers, stainless stock size valves (uniform throughout models), Caltrac's or slapper bars with custom leaf springs and either 9" or 10" w tires.

No FI, no 4 links or ladders and cars should be 1963 to 1969 (Corvettes up to 1969 can be used).

Please note: this is not an idea for introducing drag racing to 18 yo's, it's a renewal of a great class that was fun to watch, hear, and race.

That's my bias opinion.

They make them for ford, mopar, and chevy. They all have 67 cc chambers, and 2.08, and 1.60 valves. Edelbrock makes a comparable AMC head I believe. You have to let backhalfed cars in. Where else you going to get the car count? That's my opinion. You have a better idea on heads? Let's hear it.

Other than a Comp or SG, chassis I think if you limit the motor ANY car can then be used.
50 lb less for early Body, Except vega or vette. PG or turbo 100 lb less. Stock or SS cars are sitting waiting for this opening. One cubic inch limit, one wt per cubic. No computer, crank trigger not a problem they are everywhere. Pan access, pull the manifold to check pistons, No Hood Scoops...imo Still want them to fit a current class so they run the day it starts on at least a points meet basis and ask later for Heads up at the event on Friday or Sat AM. Local meets would spring up...

Dick, I think you hit the nail on the head. Chassis is overated as far as one against another. I'm personally not afraid of a pro chassis, as long as they make minimum weight.I personally want a scoop, but it won't be the deciding factor on whether I race or not. I think one weight,such as 3000lbs. At say, 9 lbs. would be 333 c.i. min.wt.and cube.
