The regs are great; keeping them similar to The Nationals is a good thing, as most Shelby fest entrants also enter the Nationals so some uniformity will only strengthen the event.

A couple of thing with the classing:

1. Will the capacity criteria give an even split of competitors? If you look at cars with similar spec and performance a few CCs see them over 2 classes.

I would say a better split would be 5100 to 5900. This would then capture the 331/ 347 windsors, 351 cleveland/windsors, 350 chev and LS1.

Then greater than 5900 including forced induction. This will then capture entrants such as Don Stafford, Wayne Procter, Ash Bright, Keith Baxter and I. A more closely matched set of competitors when looking at capacity and engine type.

I also think that something similar should be looked at for the nationals as this may reduce the size of class 3 and move some competitors into class 4.

2. With the shot out will this include the race car class?
