For Johnson26: Thank you for your reply. The 4 Banger concept up here is to take a car off the street, put in a roll cage, and go racing. I have a Mini-Stock I ran at Chow in 2006/07. It would be too much work. They want no gutting (except driver's door), wire bundles intact, stock gas tank, stock bumpers without any reinforcement, etc. Someone told me they look for a parking brake as evidence of compliance with the concept!!

For Racing Fan: Thank you for your reply. Both front and rear drive are O K.
