No, the class is not ready to run. The APBA is going over the re-re-revised engine specs. It seems that the $4000 engines are looking to be more money each time they ask for engine revisions. There are boats ready to run, but what the engine specs will be are the question here. According to the powers that be, we should see final engine specs hit the floor by the end of October. Until then, there are just small block boats, and nostalgia boats with re-re-revised engines sitting between the stringers for right now. Until the APBA says O.K. From that point, a few little changes, and SE letters will find their way to the sides of these pigs.
There is a good chance that the 07' season will be run as an exibition class. In my opinion, it is just a little too late to have it for a real deal. But we shall see.
I am the stupid one here. I have my boat upside down, waiting for the final rules approval to determine where I will put the strut. I wanted to be running at Firebird, but no chance now. Can't put the strut in until I get the word from APBA on the engine specs. They could be 460 horse small blocks, or 760 horsepower. Can't place the strut until I know.
I am losing patience
