Rich --
You're more well versed in this than I am -- but (theoretically) -- if you had a GMC out to 340", you could run it in C, right?
I'm sure you'll agree with me (?), that a lot of the old-style/engined roadsters that quit running were not up to current specs -- and that, along with being non-competitive, and no chance of record-running, led to their retirement. I believe they didn't come out of the woodwork for as much as they weren't ready, but it was the fact they couldn't pass tech.
Some of us (used-to) run for the sake of running. That's why, a year or so ago, I contacted you about the Lincoln that, by then, was not available.
I just believe it's too late to modify the already dumb rules for a dumb class that shouldn't have been included any way.
