To me a car with a straight gear race transmissing is less of a street car than one without a heater.. my that's just me. How streetable is a three-inch race clutch?

Each year Optima refines thier rules and each year the races will read the rules and see what "they can get away with".. it's how all racing works.
Well see everyone has a different opinion on what they would consider a street car, even by what you consider streetable some would not of been able to compete.
I heard some cars tranny clanking and I know I smelt my fair share of race fuel at the event.
I've voluteered, I've been a spectator and to me this event is really getting better and better every year.
One thing we can all look forward to is next years event and what cars will be racing to take the title.
