Nice clean car. Spitzer has always built good cars.  What year is it?

George, Wasn't Sloan wanting to do something like this at CID in Havana. I didn't know it was with the Nostalgia Quick Series though. I understand where the fans may not relate. Even though body styles have changed considerably.

The Heritage series isn't even accepting these type of cars. "I could be Wrong" If they would you would see'em getting built. Monkey see, Monkey do. Look at the NFC movement where it was 10-15 years ago. If you can't even race em at nostalgia events who wants to build em. I'm sure there is an interest. Maybe not as big as the FED or the NFC movement. I see these cars in Craigslist and Racing junk all the time. They are there for not a lot of money. Just need updating. The Top Fuel deal on the west coast is a high dollar deal I'm sure especially when nitro is involved. I'm thinking more of a ProComp thing or slower that we had in the early 70's.

Why isn't any body running the older rear engine dragsters. Possibly a circuit or NDRL or just old time drags. Low wings, Wheel Pants, injected, blown, or carburated does't matter. These cars are easy to find for not a lot of money. I'm talking early '70s. No American, Miller, Undercover 4link stuff. Could be updated to certify fairly easy. I know the guys on the west coast are starting it for TF but I'm thinking a little lower buck deal than that. I personally think it would be a blast. Let em fly guys.
