Randy...thanks for your input...and the years with a similar concept at your local track.
You and Dick...stay with this...and narrow down the rules...and get them set. The only
reason I said Stick-only...is to make it a racer's class...ya gotta "row" to win! EVERY-
THING out there is automatic anyhow...Trans-brakes...air/electric shifters...that takes
away from SIMPLE...

My vote is for spec-head...single-4bbl....STUD rockers...and .700 max lift...I'm no
expert in all this stuff...(still learning)...but think that .750 lift means you HAVE to run
shaft rockers on some engines...aren't there problems with studs at higher lifts? Stud
is SIMPLE.....IMHO......

I'm ok on 10.5 rubber...the tires today are so much better than 30-40 years ago...
If you got to compromise on this....maybe allow 11.5??? BUT I can't see hangin'
12 or 13" rubber on the backs of these cars....NOT simple....

Wish I had the time...(and $$$)...to build one...but will be there at the fence to watch....

Merry Christmas to all....and LET'S DO THIS!!!!!
