This idea was brought up, using incorrect means, a few years ago by Bill
Carlson, Doug King, and myself. It came about after Bill and I were told we
could not run a 258 cid '50 GMC engine in E/MR we would have to run in X/FR.
The classic category does not allow for the competitor who wants to run a
235 Chevy, or a Chrysler six or any of many Vintage engines, all of which
have to run in a 325 inch class.
Am I right Dan, Jim?                      Rich Fox
Rich,
    I believe that you're referring to the prohibition against running a 
vintage engine (X Series) in a modern engine class such as "E". The 258ci GMC 
would be forced to run XO instead of "E".
