I am trying to get started in land speed racing and would like to ask some
very basic question reguarding the sport. I like the 53 or 54 studebaker car
for the class GCC. Is this practical or do you need a late model body style
to be competive. I would like to compete in the D class 261 thru 305cid. Is a
283 chevy motor with fuel injection anything to use or is this a bad choise.
Also what kind or transmission should you use, an automatic or a standard. I
have a rule book and have been studing it but I still don't understand what
falls in the XO class. It says over head valves engines, does this mean V8 as
long as it is 1959 or earlier or is this inline 6 cyl. Should a person use a
quick change rear end or does this take to much H.P. to turn it. I have been
trying to find some books that would help a rookie like me get started,if
anybody can give me any information I would be grateful.
Thanks Larry
