Default New Small Block Ford class!!!

All new Heads-Up Small Block Ford class will debut in March of 2012. Rules are as follows; Must have a small block motor, must be a Ford make of car, any engine combination, No tire bigger than a 28, any type suspension, Single stage of nitrous. As of right now these are the basic rules. If they need to be tweaked a little we will base it on the majority of feedback we get. Heads-Up, pairing by drawing names out of a hat, no qualifying, all run. NO ENTRY FEE! We are trying to establish a class for some of the cars that are not as fast as some of the guys that compete in the all Ford shootout. We anticpate the all Ford Shootout will have faster cars enter next year as we increase the purse payout. Any feedback on this new class and it's rules will be greatly appreciated! Hope this will accommodate many of you.

Will the tree be a pro tree or a regular tree? Will the cars have to use footbrake or can they you use transbrake?

Yes, turbo's are allowed. Hopefully, the small block, single stage nitrous rule will be the limiting factor that will give the small guys a chance to race, have fun and win. Eventhough, a BIGG small block won the last shootout.

yeah, i dont see what is so confusing. any ford bodied vehicle, with any small block engine (regardless of make), any suspension, and max of one stage of nitrous... throw a 418 lsx with twin 67's with a glide in a fox body and go chop heads
