no Indy -1 heads in Muscle Street??

I think this is a mistake. Since the Indy SR and -1 head are the same base casting (some core diff?), you can't tell which the guy has (tech) unless you take the valve covers off. And even then, with porting (fill the pushrod holes, etc.), you can make an SR into a 440-1 with the offset rocker gear. So I think these should be treated the same.

In Muscle Street, the small block W5, etc should simply be outlawed at any weight. There is nothing stock replacement about them.

And I think all weight penalties should be so severe, that the car would run 11.0. You want to let them run, but you don't want to encourage there use by making them the only way to win. IMO, 50 and 100 lb weight penalties are a joke. It should be 200, 300, 400 etc. so they are running 4000+ lb total.

While I am giving my 2-cents:

Stock front suspension required, bolt-on replacements such as K-member, control
arms, springs and shocks OK, rack and pinion OK

This should be re-examined. For an entry level class, the stock K-frame should be retained, including the steering box. I don't like tubular A-arms and non-Mopar brakes either, but with a weight penalty (100-200 lbs) it might be tolerable if you must allow it (which I don't think you do).

Trans brakes and aftermarket clutches and shifters
permitted,

Get rid of the transbrake. There is no use for a transbrake in a "Street" car. I won't waste my breath anymore on transbrakes.


The way the Muscle Street rules are posted right now on the ProMax site are pretty good. I hope they stay very close to that. If racers want other equipment, they can enter another class.



I don't understand why so many people want to rule out other cars from competing? I have a Megablock with no power adder. Currently I am black listed. If the rules change and let me run that would be great.But the car is not a pickup. I will not load the car with more than 150-200 lbs.On the other hand I don't care what the competition runs under the hood as long as they are not running a power adder. Indy-1 W5 I don't care. Now rules like stock type rear suspension tire type and size restrictions I find more important.Also no traction control electronic devices. Even if you have 1000 hp.If you can't hook the car up you are not going to run very well. And everyone knows the more power you have the harder it is to hook the car up and run consistant with limited traction.I say let them all run use weight to equalize the field and lets go racing.
