7.5 lb class for GT

Dick Butler · 08-21-2007, 02:56 PM

When asked about why the difference in wt breaks I was told it was the safety fears when the class started. As the chassis development has improved, use and speeds of Comp variety have progressed the safety has improved. Now a BBC is legal in a FWD if you chose. A new Mustang with the T-BOLT 2x4s and hemi challenger and Camaro with the L-88 heads up would be a recreation of the 60'S if supported. The factories are inquiring to get it to happen(not their motor ideas)
When asked about these lighter classes earlier the standard company answer has been "cant add classes". This area is one area progress can happen but will take time to populate with cars of any kind. If class numbers were decreased elsewhere then maybe the arguement would go away.
