My definition is a stock bodied car that is gutted,has a cage that can include front and rear hoops(tied unibody), a small block engine with open chambered heads, stock size valves, .450 cam, headers, holley 500, adjustable spring buckets, lowering blocks, locked rearend, racing springs and shocks in stock location, cold air box,muncie with 1st and 2nd gear removed,and anything else that my car has that I've failed to mention. So, let's have the race based on my rules! Everybody else better start changing their "stuff". Oh yeah, 8" rims with slicks and aftermarket nose. I don't think I'll be driving on the street although I have been tempted to drive it to the track when my trailer was lent out.jm
