Josh the problem with my idea: Within 5 minutes of announcing my new division for LS powered ancient old dirt cars somebody would call Rocket and order a brand new XR1. Because somebody ALWAYS has to be that guy. It's like if the effin LA Lakers decided to play rec league ball at the YMCA so they could win more games.
The problem with your idea: it would start cheap and within 5 years they'd be 4 wheel drive Japanese Super Late Models. Our 4 cylinder FWD "stock" class is totally out of control. at least they're mostly using junkyard parts for now. I give that about 2 more years. But you better plan on a motor swap from day 1 even now.
Maybe keep them stock as possible or at least tell them to and know that they're gonna cheat a lot. LS swap the world is basically the order of the day and I think we're being foolish not to embrace that part of car culture. Except that most hot rodders don't want to actually race being as hot rods don't actually have to be fast. If you choose to race, you're putting yourself out there to get exposed. So I don't know. But I don't feel like we're getting new drivers that aren't bred to be race car drivers by wanna be dads that didn't have the money to get to NASCAR, or our own kids. I'd like to get some of the guys up in the bleachers drinking beer to say hey Joe, we can do this. The antique car requirement in the street stock class is KILLING us. And U cars are gay. Yeah I raced one but most people aren't as big of dorks as I am. Winners want to look bad azz and old clapped out civics are not bad azz.
Sorry guys the question was NOT asked about what I think about reducing costs or viability of the LS engine at the local level. Last post on this by me.

Shovel on a little more coal, then when we cross white oak mountain, watch 97 roll!
The problem is the gall dang motors.
