So Pontiac produces a Trans Am for one year with a turbo motor SIMILAR to a GN yet other Gbodys with turbos are not allowed to participate in this event? GMC made the Syclone with a turbo motor so why are they not allowed. There is a Syclone link on this site just as there is a Pontiac Turbo TA link. Why does a Pontiac with basically a one year production turbo motor come before Gbodys with turbo motors in them now?
Wouldn't it make more sense to put Gbodys cars with turbo motors in vs. ones with a Pontiac?
This website is almost exclusively dedicated to Gbodys with turbos (GN, T Type, GNX, WE4, WH1...)
Considering the majority of people that watch or race in Bowling Greens participate in this board why was there never a Poll conducted to see what cars should or should not be allowd to compete in the TAI class?
Was this a unilateral decision? Who made these rules up?
Isn't the event called the "Buick (Gbody) GS Nationals"? I dont see Pontiac anywhere in that abbreviation. I love Pontiac TTA's. They have always been one of my favorite cars but it's certainly more of a Gbody event then a Pontiac one considering over 90% of the turbo cars that race in Bowling Greens are Gbodys. Cars with TA motors or any stage configuration were not factory options but there is and shouldn't be an issue with them running in other classes so if someone puts a 109 turbo motor in their Gbody car they should beable to participate in this event long before a Pontiac with a 109 should.

I dont understand the problem. 2 years ago this class was started and was one so that the TTA's could participate in. And lo and behold.. the two years the class has run, there have been TTA's representing. They have the same engines and transmissions as their GN counterparts. The class was made for them in mind.
So the class allows "Regals" with 109 blocks and TTA's. Did I miss something? The hybrids.. Monte's, Cutlass, Pontiac Grand Prix, etc.. With Buick engines.. have their own class they can race in.
So is the issue the word G-body or Regal. They are two different items. Even tho the chassis is the same. I didnt make the rules, except simplify them so we could have a nice payout in a class. One of the sticking points was the "Hybrid" meaning anything other than TTA or Regal.
