Altereds in bracket racing
Question:

Does your track allow left hand steer roadsters compete in "Door Car" classes?

Yes in both top and bottom bulb. But not in the 5.0, 5.80, 7.0 index classes. Those classes have to have doors

Yes-here in the midwest both top and bottom bulb

Most places around where I race allow left hand steer roadsters in 6.0, but we only get one or two anyway. I can't recall ever seeing a roadster in FB in my area, so I don't know if they are illegal or just very sparse. Top bulb is open to them.

Yes, and some don't care if it's left or center steer in no-box or footbrake.

You can run an altered at our track in footbrake.

I could drive a dragster but that would just be boring.

I know right? The rear engine four link dragsters just do not do it for me. I know they are a very good tool or weapon for bracket racing, we all know that. My Front Engine dragster was a blast to drive but it was a pain in the tail to load and unload, takes up a lot of floor space and not good in rough shut down areas.

Altereds are a blast and I footbraked mine running 5.0X. Last one I bought is a four link with strut front and front brakes so it rides good and stops first turn off any time. I still have a soft spot for door cars to. They can be fun to drive.
So what ever you want or like.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.
