I have to disagree here. Has'nt a Sprite with a turbo been tried? I think
that
was the first year I went and watched the Nationals. A couple of the cars
you
mention won't even get close. The TVR,Porsche 914 and the Elva could never
get even reasonably close to 1000lbs. The others might get close but won't
make it.
I'm not being closed minded, just realistic
What does everyone else think?
