Then this happened this weekend. Are the planets aligning?
Now that definitely has possibilities.

the high in the front "Gasser" look is a misconception.
as the rules read at the time these cars were in competition, all cars must remain level at a stand still.
if you go back and look at all the competitive Gas coupes and sedans, most were very close to level.
those nose up cars handle speed like ****, too much air under the car, gets very squirrelly at speed.
these examples are properly called Street Freaks, without fenders they would never be allowed in the gas classes, they would be altereds!!

You are correct BN....but NHRA rules if I remember,
didn't prohibit it until 1964 or 65 I think..after that it said that the body or frame cannot be raised to gain weight transfer....but most "street" gasser style racers were always nose high .....
