Okay, I didn't realize there was a difference between 'Pony Cars' and 'Muscle Cars'...but there is! Here is the definition of a Pony Car...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pony_car
And, the race will be open to Pony cars, of any era...so that will open things up a little. And, yes, you can run an optional third car (That is, you will be running a Camaro, a Mustang and an optional third car, which will also be a Pony Car), if you'd like, but, the team scoring will be based on your best two cars
Sound good?
Are these considered ponies ? ? ...... late '60s Mercury cougar, comet... Dodge dart, [demon ? ], Plymouth cuda, duster, Amc javelin. GM. nova, trans am....
Looking at the definition, I would say 'yes' to the Cougar, the Comet, the Dart, the Cuda and the Javelin...and 'no' to the Duster, the Nova and the Trans-Am. Think 'Long nose, short deck'
the stocker...
rear wheelwells hogged and 3 holes drilled through the hood...
Crysler Concept fronts and Paradigm Shift rear wheels ;
Sloppy Pony mock up ;
3 of lakesters header pipes as velocity stacks to come... The Sloppies will, "paint it black you devil"...
- Looks awesome! Those ae some serious tires on the rear! — 72_Chevy_C10
- should have no issue "hooking up" what all that rubber!!! — Traction-Event
Anybody else out on the West coast that would like to host these, while the cars are out there? Mid February?
Team colors...fade job deep purple to blue...you need to hold these in your hand to get the color changing aspect. Maybe someone can get better photos...
now I need to get them up to speed!

http://www.historictransam.com/Cars.html Maybe this will help.
The Trans-Am cars are so cool. I really need to get some to Watkins Glen or Lime Rock some time...cool stuff.
I'm looking forward to seeing the different 'teams' in this series...should be fun!!
I can answer for Dadvball that we could run this race at the Lincoln Johnny Lightning Race Club the second Sunday in February. I believe that date is February 8th but it looks like someone already put that date in for another track. Maybe it could be switched?
- Yeah, nothing is carved in stone...that would be cool if you they could be run on your track — 72_Chevy_C10
Sorry just checked the date its the 14th that would be the second Sunday.
Count me in. I can host on Feb 14th, but if that's a Sunday I'll prob race on Sat instead. Das ma birfday! :-)
