Legends cars can be converted easlily. Over at NHMS, they run the same cars on the road course as they do on the 1/4 'legends oval' in turn one.

I've got a couple of buddies that decided to run a Baby Grand.

It will get # 13
I am afraid I'm gonna like this car a lot and not want to sell it, but I also want to build another 'Vette. The new Vette would be for SCCA GT-1 but utilizing the 6.0 Chevy LQ iron block and LS3 heads with carburetor per the rules. This would of course be against the conventional wisdom of using a Nascar SB2, but I like to do things differently. The LQ motor won't make near the peak HP of the SB2 but will make similar or more torque at a much lower RPM. Most importantly, the LQ type will require much less maintenance.

So why is it when I have the temerity to suggest converting a Sprint car to right/left applications it's a lousy idea but converting a Stock Car gets everybody's willies stiff?

The sprint car would have one awesome power to weight ratio, but the short wheelbase might make for a wild ride on a road course. Hell, they're a wild ride on any race course.

The Nascar modifieds ran similar lap times to Grand Am Daytona Prototypes a couple years ago at Lime Rock.

I think Righty was the one I met at the Wolf Ridge hillclimb a few years ago.
