Bob and Dan hope to eliminate any gray areas. Any questionable cars, such as COPO cars, will need to provide documentation to prove their legality. Thus, unless something new is found, no L-89 '68 Novas, no '69 427 Novas, etc. Cloned cars are legal, BUT must provide documentation that they are legit. As Rob mentioned, until you get involved, you can not imagine what goes on. The Buick and Studebacker clubs are already hard at work building even faster cars for 2001, doing whatever it takes to go faster. And when I say whatever, I mean whatever, such as a Stude with a Mopar head! I guess what is it gets down to is our Chevy/Yenko pride. We will race anyone they pair us up with, Buick, Stude, Mopar, etc., but we want to be running under the same rules. As per prerace teardown, that will be a big pain in the " ", but once done, we can then race knowing that whatever happens, win or lose, it truley was Pure Stock Drag racing. The event was started to allow a place for people with stock, original musclecars to get together and have fun. It was NOT started to provide a place for cloned muscle/race cars to race, even though they are welcome, if legal. Look at it this way, would anyone want to see a "cloned" supercar race a real supercar at the Supercar Reunion? The cloned car would most likely win, but who cares, that is not intent of either event. What makes the PSMCDR special is the chance to see many, many pure stock musclecars from the various automakers perform. On a side note, some day we hope that they might add a class for dealer prepared cars, such as Yenkos, B-M cars, Harrell/Gibb cars, Tasca, Grand Spaulding, etc. Would not that be fun to watch? Tom
