Ford 272 C.I. runs low 11's. Why do Mopar guys need 408's?

Here’s the rub. I can see an everyday car only driven in bracket racing, as in my co-workers ‘70 Super Bee.

A dedicated gutted, no lights, no horn, etc…..
IS a race car. It can be bracket raced or driven heads up.

I think you make to much of this and are to stiff on it.
But that’s OK. Yep! I lean more to what you’re thinking.

You’re making my point.

If I run out and buy a…you pick it. An LS something or a Gen III Hemi something. I can bracket race, but it’s not a “bracket” car. It’s a street car that get bracket raced.

Just like my car. It’s a street car (there is a bunch of wiggle room in the street part and that’s what takes forever to explain…right now my hands hurt so bad I can’t open a bottle of water…the wife had to do it for me and typing right now is not fun) that I can bracket race.

When my dad bought his 66 Barracuda is wasn’t a bracket car. It was K/S legal and that’s the class he ran. It’s pretty freaking hard to do that today.
