well, you fixed half what I was gonna say and it seems you've answered your own question now... It def would be SPO (not U) and yes we have it in the NE and its one them new fangled "catch alls" so almost anything goes, but it might need fenders...
Two is the most I've seen at any event this year... and I beat one of them with the 240(he broke something)

The Howe chassis car described raced with us in V8 StockCar driven by Ed Griesemeyer in SPO.
There are PLENTY of Howe, Port City, Hamke, Hess, Lefthander etc
perimeter stock car chassis out there that easily convert to road racing and they are CHEAP!
These types without question the fastest, best bang for the buck
GT-1/SPO car you can buy/build for the money.
For example this past weekend at Daytona, Charles Wicht turned
1:52's on Friday test day in his ex SouthWest tour Monte Carlo (Has wing and 16" wheels and lots of hp)........Vs Doug Harrington, good driver in Rocketsports C6 Corvette....1:52.
Could have been a great race on saturday but Charles suffered motor problems.
One of the faster GT-1 cars in the country is Jeff Emery's Port City MonteCarlo........1.23 Road Atlanta, 1:08.0 Roebling,
2:03 Sebring Long etc.
How about Scott Lagasse Jr and Tony Amico running 1:58's at Daytona last week with GTA cars, that is quick!
A friend bought a VERY NICE perimeter frame, Nascar Late model roller recently for 3500. This is essentially the same thing as the SouthWest tour road race cars.
The replacement parts by Howe, Port City and others is way cheap, fantastic Brembo, Alcon, AP brakes available from Nascar country at about 20 cents on the dollar. etc.
When you feel the need for 180 mph, this is by far the cheapest way to do it.
Questions?..............bosco022022@yahoodotcom
