FACTORY WARS

  We are implementing a class with the idea of capturing the excitement of the old factory wars of the earlier days of drag racing. It will be a combination of Stock, Super Stock, Factory Experimental and early Pro Stock. These are meant to be Hard Body replicas of the factory door slammer hot rods. We will run S-16D motors on and index (around 1.050). We will be running .500 rear tires and interiors to help their scale appearance. Any modifications to these cars will have to be documented with a picture of a real class legal car using said mod. Let’s try and keep this a close, heads up class, full of nostalgia race cars.

Race director will determine the legality of any questionable car or modification based on whether it was built to the spirit of the class.

 We discussed using only stock S-16D armatures and having a minimum weight. But I think that the index with handle this. This shouldn't be about who can build the fastest car, but who can consistantly run the number.
