    the gas classes are no more, unless you ran the heritage series.

    Depends on where you race, I guess. http://www.anra.com/classes_rules.html

    In the traditional sense gassers_rule is right. The old gas classes where it was based on cubic inches to weight are no longer there. Those along with Modified Production have been replaced by some classes that I am no longer familiar with. The Nostalgia Gas classes are based on an index and you can use any cubic inch/weight combination you want to hit it. Does make it cheaper run because you don't have to run on the ragged edge to be competitive. It seems to be a nostalgia version of Super Comp, Super Gas and Super Street.

    Still nothing like an F/Gas Weighted down Willys Sedan with destroked small block and 6.17 gears wheel standing at the line, rowing through a 4 or 5 speed, then crossing the finish line at 11 grand.

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

    Pat,

    You and G-rule are absolutely correct. Lot's of things are not the same. Sure doesn't mean you can't have a load of fun racing heads up against another enthusiast trying to nail an index. Just watch those A guys trying to hit a 7:60! If we detune to 11.6 we can run the E gas class. Or, just run Hotrod bracket. Also, put on the M/T ET Street tires, and run Wednesday night fun drags up at Sac. Three types of racing with one car.
    The point for Mr Dago Red is that there is lots of fun racing, at the beginner level and affordable.
