David and Others,
I think part of the problem is, where do you place a car that has an
oversize-significantly in some cases, engine? For example, say an SVRA Grp
6 '68 Camaro shows up with a big block or a NASCAR 358? ci 700hp engine-and
outruns the regular front-runners? Uh, well, in SVRA, you can move the car
to Grp 10 or what used to be Exhibition.
Chuck raises an interesting example with a 427 Camaro because Don Yenko ran
just such a beast at Sebring or Daytona - maybe both - and I'm still looking
for that car. Of course Don's superior speed usually wasn't a long-term
worry for most competitors because my memory tells me he usually ran away
with the race for about two hours, then blew up the car and went home.
