Wally,

Well... the class that I was planning to run is basically IMCA Hobby Stock rules with a few of their own additions/deletions

IMCA Hobby Stock: http://imca.com/rules/hobby-stock/

24 Speedway's particular rules (for the season that just finished...): http://www.ssautosport.com/moberly/2010/Rules_Forms/2010_Rules_Hobby_Stock.pdf

I want to run the lowest level V8 full body class I can...and if their classes stay the same for next year (they may not) that is the best fit for me.

2bbl, 8" tire, 9.0:1 compression.

That's a lot nicer, and more complete than the 81 Malibu I tow-barred home to build my street stock.

Jensenman, you'll be a natural on the dirt after racing bikes. I put it right up there with motocross for fun factor. You can't beat the feeling of being sideways, 3 wide at 60 mph, trying to make a pass

Last race of the season tonight, and I'm going.

Damn. These starter classes allow 4 banger pickups? Those are DIRT cheap (ha ha). Now I'm going to start Googling dirt ovals in my area.

Thanks a lot, guys.

Mike/Jensenman...it just occurred to me that this might be a question (not an exclamation/revelation).

One of our tracks here has a "hornet" class that seems to have rule-crept itself into a "catch all 4 cylinder" class.

You can run front drive, rear drive, station wagons, and pickups. As long as it's 4cyl...they can run. [edit: unless it's un'murrican. Sadly, I can't build a corolla dirt tracker ) No gaurantee on being competetive...but a little S10 or the like could be fun! You're right...very cheap.
