My other question is a tube frame car still considered a doorslammer?

For now I will stick to racing my street car. I think Seymour's signature line defines a "street car" best. "If you didn't drive it there its not a street car."

I know what you are saying. I guess that is why other racing groups split the street cars into so many different classes. You have pro-street style cars that can barely make 50 mile trips to qualify for the races, then you have pure street cars that pass state inspection and are driven daily everywhere.
I think if it is truly a street car it should be able to be driven everywhere. There is a big difference in a daily driver street car, and a pro street "street car". To me a daily driver will more than likely have an almost full interior and some creature comforts, while a pro street style car will be stripped but still have lights and inspection items and won't be driven regularly (maybe some weekends/races)

I actually really like pro street style cars that are barely street legal and need to be towed to races. (My Dads 65 Valiant will more than likely be like that) If I was ever to build a "race" car it would be a pro street style car just so I could say it was still street legal. However I would never personally consider it a true daily driver type street car unless it was actually something I drove on the street regularly.

I drove my Dart from pennsylvania to Elk Creek virginia in 100 degree high humidity weather, with 10" glass packs exiting in front of the back wheels and it was loud and miserable without AC. So I can understand towing something for the comfort of it (and incase something breaks) but I still think a true daily driver should be capable of being driven every day. I think towing a car would cost more too. I got 21-22 mpg with 4.30 gears (OD 4 spd) And if I towed the car I probably would've gotten 13-14 mpg with the truck. Luckily nothing broke and it was a fun weekend, and I plan to drive to Clay City in a month to try it again (hopefully some cooler weather too).

There is a lot to think about for rules (If it was to ever happen). Our local gas station has 110 octane turbo blue, would that count as pump gas? I would not think so, but technically it is a local pump gas (even if it is $8.00 a gallon). I would think street cars would have to run on DOT "street" tires (even slicks with DOT grooves in them) I would also think a street car would need mufflers of some sort.

Having a separate Pro Street Class and a Daily Driver class would be a lot of fun with the proper rules set up to distinguish the two. I just don't know if there are enough cars to have 2 groups and there would definitely be some disagreement when trying to establish the rules. It would be cool though.... after the rules were set.

I wasn't trying to say that Seymour's signature line is the only definition for a street car, I was just saying I like his definition, and I like the fact that he drove 500+ miles for the mason dixon ran low 13's and drove back home.
