Greetings.
I'm looking at buying a 1980 Chevy Blazer. I'm curious as to how this would fit in the "catagories" of the races. Here are the specs on the Blazer
Stock Engine, 350 V8
4" Suspension Lift, 3" Body Lift
35X12.5X15 Tires on 15" Rims
What class would I be in, and what would I be up against? I don't want to buy this and be up against someone running nitro and supermodified V8. But I don't think it's fair to be up against someone running a stock S10 (my other truck).
I'm looking at getting a screaming good deal on this truck and it looks great. Will know more this weekend.
I know there was discussion last year of rule changes.
Also are you doing Lewistown again?

As far as lewis ton its looking good. The tires will put you in class 300 as long as it pulls vac. there is no Nos in 300 and we have a super mod class it is 700.See the truck rules on the main page. The 300 class is very competitive. YOu will need a hard running truck to be in the top runners in the drags or a good drawl and a good truck to win the bogs. WE DO OFFER BRACKET STYLE racing where it does not matter how fast your truck is it is all the driver, this is normally on Sat. |

Okay so the Blazer fell through, but I did manage to score a 1990 Ford Bronco (fullsize). It's bone stock. It needs some cosmetic work, tailgate etc. The drivers door is missing it's window mechanism. QUESTION: Is this class 300? I'm confused. Is this considered "short wheel base"?

If its stock it is stock class.
If it has a Big block its in class 300 if it will pull vac

If its stock it is stock class. If it has a Big block its in class 300 if it will pull vac It's a V8 stock engine. I assume that's a "stock class" not the big block? Maybe in a few years it will be, assuming I don't total it in a bog |

One more thing, is a Bronco considered a "Short Wheel Base". Is that allowed in the stock 200? It should pull vac, it's all stock. What is the limit on that and I'll check to be sure. I'm shopping for some new tires for it now.

Your bronco is considered a short wheel base. But if it has the stock engine in it is is OK for class 200. Only if you would change the engine to a Big Block then you would not be allowed in 200.
