Front Engine Dragsters / Novice needing some help from the veterans on a build and some rules
« on: June 21, 2021, 04:41:33 PM »
Thanks for the help in advance.... its much appreciated.
I recently attended a hot rod reunion in Bowling Green, KY and xxxx did i get the itch. I work at an old rod shop and have a lot of interest in classic cars, but typically in the restoration department. After that event im interested in getting into an old nostalgic FED. Im currently looking at a 1976 Competition Engineering chassis, 186-inch wheelbase car (the plan would be for a blown Hemi). Its just a roller that is about 70% finished. I could really use some direction in knowing if there is a class to run this car? is it still legal to use (obviously needs to fit the rules and regs of index) Are these old cars still allowed to run down the track or just for Cacklefest only? Can i build it to run in a nostalgia eliminator class or maybe super comp?
Ill have several questions in building this car but would like to know where to head to get this information. I don't want to just show and cackle, i would to build, tweak and make passes with it.
i have a lot to learn but pretty interested in a build to maybe go from just watching to being a part of it.
Thanks again guys/girls
