Your right Monte it is a week long thing... but it would be a little funny when Larson can run down the track backwards and still beat me... I can only go 10.0 might have to fall back to daily driver and just go 10.80 Yes rust sure got this one... thats why it HAS to go to a tube chassis... even the front rails are gone Monte it was a pleasure to meet you finally

Here's the rules for daily driver
* Daily Driver has no limitations on drivetrain or body modifications. Cars quicker than 10.80 are not allowed in Daily Driver, and e.t. slips quicker than 10.80 will not be accepted.
* Daily Driver entries are not eligible to win Drag Week(tm) overall.
* Throttle stops and bracket-racing electronics of any kind are not allowed.
* Daily Driver is based on an Open Comp format. Each car's five-day average e.t. will be used to determine qualifying position on a 32-car ladder for a bracket race on the final day of Drag Week(tm). At tracks with e.t. slips to four decimals, all four will be included; if only three decimals are on the e.t. slip, then the fourth decimal will be zero. The e.t. averages will be taken out as many decimal places as required to determine qualifying. Ties will be broken by average mph. The race on the final day will be a 32-car field on a Sportsman ladder (1 races 17, 2 races 18, and so on) and a 0.500-second full tree. Normal breakout and first-or-worst rules apply. Each car's dial-in for every round (the dial-in cannot be changed between rounds) will be the five-day average minus a tenth, so a weekly average of 12.20 gets a dial-in of 12.10; in the event that a car averages 10.89 or quicker, the dial-in will be 10.80. Any run quicker than 10.80 will be considered a "worst" and will lose the round. The bracket-race winner will be the overall Daily Driver Champ. In the event of a rainout on the last day, the winner will be the quickest car with the best consistency throughout the week. But there are also a lot of other potential prizes for Daily Driver racers, so read on.

Yeah, you can do whatever you want in daily driver, but some of those other classes you listed, are very specific on rules and suspension mods, tires are what seperates most of them.
Monte
Yeah I guess I'm stuck with daily driver... I have
to put a tube chassis in this car or it goes to the
bone yard.... I think it would have come close to
folding in half if I opened the doors... the floor pan
and the front sub frames are gone.... the back end
looks fine

Find a driver, put in the tube chassis and put in the B1MC big block on spray and have some fun!! You can still do the road driving while your "wheel man" runs all the strip passes.
Nah I have a buyer for my BB stuff

What if you just left the stock rusty frame rails in the car and ran round tube underneath or beside them? The old rails would be just going along for the ride. Isn't that pretty much what they do in the back of the SS cars now?

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

No... I cut the whole floor pan out... right to the
sill... everything under it in the cab area was gone...
I'll do it pretty much the same way as I did the P-body
