Just thinking , we may have a nice little class building up. Harris's have a new/old rear engine dragster with a small block in it. Perfect! Those guys from Fairbanks with the Rear engine dragster, perfect. We also have brians, Agent Orange, Hanson, myself. And who else is running a small block, That is nostalgic. This would be a great class. Front engine, Rear engine, Altereds, all must have a small block. no boxes, Nostalgia. Nothing fancy. Just good close racing. Say make it an 8.60 index class. I know we have at least 5 or 6 cars that fit this perfectly and we all run close to or could run 8.60. A Nostalgia class that may work. Anyone interested? Comments?

Well if she can run no faster then 8.60's she's in. Remember it's Nostalgia cars. And hers fits.

Think about it Devin, put a small block bow tie in her car and you could use her motor for your parts....

Hahaha except none of her Parts would work for me. Her bore is too small, rods too short, stroke too short, 2 bolt block. Only thing I could use is her heads and they aren't prepped like mine. Maybe I'll just put my motor in her car and run pro nostalgia

The idea is to get the cars as close as possible in engine size and performance to make for some good close racing. Also to try and keep cost down so maybe we could have more cars involved. Not everyone can afford 500 C.I. Motors and blowers and all the safety involved in running one of those monsters. But to run the class I'm talking about isn't that much more expensive then building a good door car. But the main idea is to keep it simple and fun.

John, would my car qualify? I could maybe pour some alum on my block and shrink it down some! lol Anyway, with the engine that I've got now my numbers come out to the mid 8's. I'd love to run in a class that had all Dragsters and Altereds. Rob

Sorry, I couldn't help it Devin.... ;D

That is what it is about isn't it? I enjoyed it as much as if I had ran a 8 second car.

Rob, yours is diffently Nostalgia. The car would look good in the class. But this class won't work as well as I thought it might. It was a dumb idea anyway. We'll just have to see what and who shows up next year. With the way my luck is going right now, I may just be watching my wife run next year.

I still think we should open up pro nostalgia.....
Do indexes every tenth. 8.20 8.10 8.00 All the way down to 7.0 which would be the cutoff and then you go into top eliminator.
