2 extra doors, windows, mechanisms, latches, B pillar seem kinda heavy to me? maybe im wrong....
Domingo...
Most of the factory literature I have list a 4 door at about 35 lb heavier than a comparably equipped 2 door..Wheelbase is the same. Remember, a two door still has quarter window glass, regulators, ets. If you got creative, you can lose that weight easily. Like stated earlier, if the goal was a "max effort" type of deal, then start with something else. But I dont think the weight issue is anything here.

Been a couple years since I was considering it (4 door 273 4bbl dart) looks like they updated a bunch of rules in 2010. It does say all windows must be functional and up during a run. Rule 1.10 
I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!

I checked the FAST and Pure Stock Drag rules. Neither one of them say that 4-doors or wagons are not legal. It just says "1955-74 muscle cars".
if it says that then how come vettes are allowed? I know this has been beaten to death, but now reading MUSCLECARS (I have never read the rules before), I would say there is NO ROOM FOR ALLOWING A VETTE IN THERE!

Mr Yuck
The class was suppose to be show cars that run FAST. With that in mind the cars should be presentable. But I don't think they need to be perfect. I would love to see a survivior type car running?
Mike,
1.57 sixty was the best so far but since you posted the 52 I will try to make it happen. Going testing down at MIR on the 30th. As you know I did not do anything to the car over the winter but will be testing tire sizes. After that I will get together with you on some gear changes???
Thanks Ed
Good luck Ed. Hey Ed will you be racing at Cecil at all this year ? Ron
