rather be the slowest 11 second car than the fastest 12 second....
I dont see a problem with trying to pair up with similar cars though...

In the US they have a cutoff of 1974 for their stock appearing cars, because they know that, fully falling within the rules, the newer cars would blow the doors off the older ones.

I do understand what you are trying to do Pete. Please don't think I am poo pooing it.
Thinking about it more I guess I would like to run against cars that are about the same ET as mine.
I am just not sure how many would be interested on the day or even if you can pull it off at all.

Hi Pete,
You certainly started somefing here dude!!!
People still gettin confussed about Stocker and Stock appearin? Dare I mention Stroker, maybe not???
My mate wants to run his Stock Dart but it runs 22's, I think with a bit of tweakin and sum 4star, it will do a 20.00 possibly?
Factory spec says it should run a 17, and he's very upset!!! So he wants to turn it into 69 Hemi Superstocker so he can run in the nines?
I think either way he won't find anyone to run against?
Too fast, Too slow??? Either way its a quandry!!!
Personally I fink he should buy a B-Bod and get a life!!!
See you on the track Pete, what time you gonna run? Hope its 12's
Give us a pm about coming over to help out, Baccy.

The MoPar Nats have run bracket racing before.
First one was won by a 67 Firebird.
The following year by a 1970 Buick convertible.
It then got abandoned ... for obvious reasons
