Welcome KYwes, but be fore-warned, salt is ADDICTING
I followed the path that others have suggested, had a '68 Nova drag/street that my wife and I used to achive the 130 club, but after seeing the initial signs of salt damage, I built a purpose-built salt car, '53 studebaker! When I asked questions, I was refered to the rule book,but that doesn't apply to the step after the 130 (150) but I followed the book to the letter and more, so that upon reaching the 150 goal, (we did
) I would move to comp. classes without major reworking.After reaching the 150, with additional safety items, we have had a blast running in comp (A/CGALT ) so I guess what I'm telling you is ,if you really love your Camaro, I would get a low-buck car that has enoungh omph to get you a decent run , then sit back while the salt fever takes hold !!
So go to the USFRA website and scroll down to the 130/150 rules and have a blast! Good luck
