Why FWD? Stock car racing has always been and should always be RWD in my opinion. V6 mustangs, camaros, 300zx, stealth, older supra.. there's lots of options.

What about a V6 truck class, be something different people haven't watched before. There are lots of trucks in the wrecking yards and still rear wheel drive.

Look how the trucks ran in the enduro race. Just an idea to toss out

I think of all the ideas, this one could be the most valid. Pete already has their renegade truck class that although has been at a slow start, the rules do allow for some front end changes, low ride height and decent options....with trani rules, weight penalties and so on. The 4 cyl rule is in place I believe to keep the cost low, bring newbies to the track and have something that is "techable".

The one thing thing that has been lost over the years is "affordable racing". This new class would conceivably the cheapest thing next to enduro racing. It also gives Trucks  a place on the speedway on regular Saturday night racing.....that in itself could help generate more racing interest, sponsors, supporters and help not only the racing industry but int he end make help make the difference in the survival of this sport.

Could have a spec 4.3 rule...for those tracks who want to try it....

Just my thoughts

Varney allows trucks in the street stock class, but nobody has tried one yet, as far as I can recall.

-from the varney rules:
1. BODY STYLE: Open to any make or model of North American built two or four door sedan, hatchback, Chevy S10 or Ford Ranger, dodge Dakota with a V-8 engine installed.
