I plan on going all 3 days. The only thing nstalgic I'll be bringing may well be just me. The new car build is going SLOW!

Thanks. It'll look retro, conform to Nostalgia ss rules, but i'm gonna try those split dominators just once!

That's sort of what I was getting at but we're all etitled to our opinions. By the way, I've got a set of Casler recaps and another set of shaved Atlas Bucrons if you really want to be noatalgic.

Thanks, I know about the carb rule. I've 2 sets of top plates - spits and regular 4 bbl holleys. I,m gonna set it up with the splits and run nostalgia modified - use the holleys if necessary. I just gotta see what it does with the splits

better check your NNS rules. Most associations require cast intakes and correct type carbs. I highly doubt splits are legal.

Don't recognize the name but may recognize the car. Safety is a big concern. Also "back in the day" ss racers and afx guys were using every trick, avaiable at the time, to be competitive. How many guys here remember pounding finishing nails into spring bushings to stiffen them? Now we have polyurethane and aluminum clones.

I don't know how you guys feel, but timr marches on. I love nostalgia racing - that's why I'm getting a '65 hemi coronet ready for this spring. What really get's me po'ed are the the rules in some sanctioning bodies. I'm all for the nostalgia look but put a modern suspension and drivetrain/induction system in the beast. Why build a car with 40 year-old technology? Look at my profile picture - hemi with 4 split dominators. Unless it's a tribute car get modern. How do you guys feel?
