Maybe if there was enough interest, there could be a hybrid class, qualified field, bracket style.

Well, I can tell you the bump in ST was around 10.90 and was a 109 block car. He made runner up. I would not protest a hybrid car in Q-16, and do not understand what difference it would make anyways, it is a bracket race.

There were a lot of other contenders that ran FASTER than the slowest car, but did not show up to race(mechanical issues). I was shocked at how many cars could have made the show. WHO KNEW!!!!

The Super 16 chairman, and others, feel this is a BUICK meet, and having a Mustang or Chevy or Mopar compete or win in a Buick race would not be appropiate.

Having spent most of my working life with Buicks, I share this feeling.

My opinion is that we SHOULD have a hybred class with a decent payout as well. [But my opinions do not count in the final analysis!] :sleep:

No 6 cyls in that Mopar Bill, it was a 426 Max Wedge, and if you look closely, you will see the factory alum front end. That pic was taken at 75-80 Dragway in your part of the country! :rock:

75-80 is closing this year to make room for housing, that is a rough track!
