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

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.

Yes and no. A dedicated bracket race car is a different animal. 99% were street cars. This is what I’m getting at. Not the purpose built tube chassis car.

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.

Turning a lot of wrenches I bet. Know the feeling. Keep massaging them.

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.

K/S! Man, that’s something I’m going to have to look up. I hear and read stuff that I’m not up on and it just takes me back down memory lane. Gramps-in-law’s days when he was gettin-done.
Our time together was to short.
