Car selection/engine selection can be limited by implementing the proper rules. Example: only allow chev models from year 2000-2005, Neons from 1997-2005, whatever ford product is on par with them.,etc.
Outlaw vtech/vvvt and other goodies right from the start.Make them all weigh 2500 lbs minimum, put em on a spec tire and have at it. Proper tech with proper handicaps and a standalone 16v class would be viable.

Or how about a spec tube chassis, running a 16v rear wheel drive setup with an  outlaw style body.Just need a builder, how about you there Yetti??

This topic is way too deep and involved to be hashed around on a message board.Methinks we need about a 3 day summit meeting of interested parties to figure a solution.How about a 3 day meeting in florida during speedweeks??

I see someone has seen or experienced exactly what I am talking about

All good info, but lets not let this topic dies with just convo about 16v? I was hoping to hear about taching, handicapping, winning car types, even fields, uneven fields, sponsors, purses etc if I could.

they should worry about the low car count classes first lol

Leave the 4 cyl classes alone everywhere, thats what will help.  No rule changes.  Ya Varney needs to let in the 16 valves.

16 valves arent the problem, its the morons spending 4-5 grand on old crappy pushrod mustang motors to try and keep up with something that makes 120 hp stock, and only costs 300 bucks at the wreckers.  Its your won fault if you choose not to run a wrecking yard motor for 500 bucks and pushes out big power. 

The 80s just called, they want their cast iron everything back.  Ill stick with plastic and aluminum and easy to find thanks.
