[QUOTE="Cerberos, post: 466323, member: 733"] While there are classifications for "street vehicles" you will find that even they tend to be highly modified/prepped vehicles. Even the exotics from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche etc. are typically worked over. In the open class, dedicated tube frame chassis with 500+ cubic inch, blown, engines, dominate. Think NASCAR with unlimited restrictions on power and BIG, carbon fiber brake systems. The incredible hardware at the tech session and start line are worth the trip all by themselves. During the era I ran the race, a late 60's (67' - 69'), tube framed, Camaro with a big block (I think it was a 572ci monster) absolutely owned the race. This beast was purpose built by a family out of the mid-West and it screamed. I have to admit, I never saw a truck, let alone a 4x4 run the race. Even though my knowledge is a bit dated, I think a Raptor would draw a lot of attention, just for the novelty factor. [/QUOTE]
