Chevrolet and Pontiac do not. If you win class with a Pontiac motor in a Pontiac car, you don't get a dime.

If that's all they pay that want even cover food for a day the track. Us guys running Ford's definently aren't doing it for the coin. GM may not pay money but what you guys have in availiability of aftermarket parts and parts interchangeability I would gladly trade for over a few hundred bucks.

Ford is working on improving their sportsman presence right now - Look for some announcements in the next few weeks.

That is a very Cool car !! I would have never thought an Escort could look so good. Hope he can get it accepted by NHRA.

Don Whitmore · 07-14-2008, 05:31 PM

So....the Escort meets the NHRA minimum shipping weight for GT?

Bill Harris · 07-14-2008, 07:30 PM

Can't tell, it's not in the classification guide.

JHeath · 07-14-2008, 08:37 PM

minimum shipping weight? cobalt,cavalier,sunfire,sunbird g-5 is there such a thing? LOL escorts are mentioned in the comp section of the rule book regarding firewall placement.

Johnny U · 07-14-2008, 09:44 PM

His minimum weight on the sticker said 2810#. It is a 330hp 351.

2005 Cobalt = 2808#, 2005 Cavalier = 2617#...there is a minimum ship weight requirement that must be met for GT otherwise, you would see Dodge Neon GT combos with 318s and 340s in them...
