I thought
you could just pick an engine break and transplant that into any vehicle
and you would have a class and size.  An example is the streamliner
class.  EVERY engine size (and modification like gas or fuel, blown or
un-blown) has a listed record (see Bonneville records pgs. 73-74).  Same
deal for BFL or unblown FL.  Then you come to pg. 76 and you notice that a
"K" motor is MISSING from BGL but for the next lower class it is back in
and allowed for a GL.
***************************
As mentioned in a previous mail, you have to look at each body class to see
which engine breaks are allowed. This can be found at the end of the class
description. For the lakester example the engine breaks can be found on page
43 right above section id 5.A.3. On page 76 there is no record listed as this
class was still open at the start of the season and remains so at the end of
the salt racing season.
