Thank you guys very much. I do know that he built that motor and planned on calling him I was going to have a TON of questions to ask him but I figured I'd come on here and try to get some of them out of the way. I really wanted to try to understand that classification sheet I was looking at just so I am familiar. As I may or may not have mentioned I am a bracket and super class racer and I know NOTHING about class racing so I am trying to gather every bit of info I can without sucking the life out of Bud and his son's he he he

I have a year before my son is old enough to race the car so I'm trying to get as much figured out as I can now.

Mark Young,

Does it still have an old weight sticker on window, from a previous race ? That will show you the HP and Weight he was at, for that event.

That is the correct number that Lew posted. Give them a call they will get get you going in the right direction. I'm working on a 92 with a 350 combo and that chart is still half Greek to me also, I just do what they say!

You might want to talk to Bruce Parsons. No one's any better with small block Chevys. He's fast and passes tech.
