Class for stock car

[Walter]

What class would an ARCA, Cup, or Busch car slot into?  I recognize the choice of motor size, induction and fuel affects class placement, but it is the chassis/body combo that I am curious about.  Thanks.

With no stock body panels, it would likely be a streamliner.
It would have to meet all the safety requirements for sure.
"TIME ONLY" seems to be the best choice for you.

"Don't date out of your species."       I like that!  However, after seeing photos of old sprint cars at El Mirage and Bonneville, that does not seem like a problem.

There will be a lot of stock cars flooding the market next year with the rule changes in Cup, Elite and West series obsolescing many cars.  Some have very slippery bodies (the speedway track cars) and converting to a  symmetrical suspension from left turn only is fairly easy.  The cars are very safe as well.   An interesting option.

A few years ago a NASCAR crew chief also inquired.
The problem is SCTA would be unable to police the "STOCK" configuration
that varies so much from 1 series and even track to another.
They can certainly be made as safe as any car at speed and are built to
take a big hit.
While their is provision to run, the rules that would have to bring them
all together would be beyond the scope of the system we have.
Time only and bragging rights would be a suitable mark.

If you look at the old sprint/midget you see in our program you will see the are "old". they are only allowed with vintage engines (I'll let you figure that out with the rulebook) Many old "roadsters" which ran at the lakes did compete in SoCal circle track races and vice versa.

That's why they have a place with the SCTA....
