I have to agree with tom on pretty much everything except that you can run a
line lock (at least in division 1 racing, no electronical devices though).
Other than that, check your local tracks. A lot of division tracks run
points (if you sign up) and hold finals at the end of the year at a
pre-determined track in that division.
I personally run in the street class with my shelby. pretty much the rules
are, a vehicle with d.o.t. tires, mufflers, no electronics ect, $$$ goes to
the winner, runner up, and sometimes semi finals.
