1) What major rules have changed over the last 10 years? Not enough to worry about since your car ran under the index.

2) What can or what should be updated to be competitive based on rule changes over the last 10 years? Update the safety equipment and hope to see you at a D5 race or Midwest Class Racers Race

3) Are things like digital ignitions & data acquisition a must even on an old school carbureted stocker? If you like more info and things to occupy your time in between making a pass it is helpful.

You have a track thats in your backyard at Thunder Valley in Marian SD. It being resurfaced last year it is great.

Data is a game changer. If you learn how to use it.

I agree, and it saves a lot of money second guessing what you thought may have happened. Each pass I track how long the clutch slid before lockup on the launch and very specific engine info for my combination.

Now if they don't have the skills to own both ends of the track, a data logger won't help them there.
