    Sorry guys, been busy lately and haven't had time to start much discussion about the class this year. Of course we are going to run the class, and we will once again have some cool stuff to give away and maybe even a little cash. So drop a post in here if you are planning to run the class so we can get a tentative headcount.

    Don't forget, this class is run BRACKET STYLE, on a pro tree. So a 14.50 car will be just as competitive as an 11 second car. In fact, I think a high 13 second car won the class last year!!

    I look forward to seeing you there!

    Rules are posted below.

    Bryan,

    I will have your exhaust manifolds with me in BG.

    All,

    Bryan won a set of ported BB exhaust manifolds for winning the class a few years ago. He wasnt in a hurry for them, so I will be delivering them to him this year to use on his stock appearing project.

    Beamer Suncoupes Rule !!!

    I will be there again this year with the Suncoupe to run the BSA class.

    I was going to bring my T with the new motor I built to try hitting the 9's, but Jim threatened to not pit by me. I don't think I could do without his nagging, whining baby style attitude. :bla: So I will have the true GS Nationals car again this year.

    Will be bringing the yellow 73 this year. Looking for a new best. Gotta see what see will do with the new heads and intake. Finally have the Trans ready, rebuilt 2X since the new pieces were put in. (slipping in Ohio, then at Buick at Lebanon Valley) Sorry to miss BSA this year.
