Default Re: Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race

A couple of items of note. A Harrell car, such as Ray Morrison's, is not legal, or a Gibb car that would have had al. heads added, as the cars are supposed to be FACTORY stock. Dealer prep cars, at least Chevys, are not legal. We were told to change our 7-15 Torque Thursts to 7-15 Rallys, which we did. I have never understood the exception for the al. headed '68s. Also, a Yenko Nova, such as our '69, is not legal. If we get into "POSSIBLE", the sky is the limit, since Chevy has not released key records. Just look at the many COPO stories out there, including a 1969 427 Yenko Nova. Hey, that is a thought, maybe our Nova is legal, since the Red car Kevin S. has been reported as a COPO 427 car. The event is a fun event, but is starting to be overwhelmed by all of the bickering. I have suggested having two classes, one for the true factory stock cars, that are truly the way that were when new from the factory and the owners are there just to show/enjoy their cars, such as Mark Hassett in his ZL-1, and another class, stock appearring, for the serious racers who have built/designed their cars for the event. Each class would be fun to watch, as it would be a chance to see pure stock cars run against each other AND a chance to see what some of the cars can do with a little race prep. Tom
