Ok, I'm going on a public forum admitting I don't know a lot about pavement sc's so here we go. Can a silver crown be ran in the little 500 or similar races? Reason I ask is because the little 500 is a bucket list race for me and there is a silver crown pavement car for sale here in Ohio for a ridiculously low amount of money. Just seeing what the opinions of many of you in the know would be. Thank you for your time.

Just realized I forgot one word that screws this whole thread up. Can silver crown PARTS be used? I know the frames are two different animals. Thanks
Pat, looking at the rules on the entry form, even if you DID use the S/C frame along with the components it appears the only thing you'd need to lose is the clutch. There's a maximum offset & overall width but no wheelbase rule, minimum or maximum.
Don't let the naysayers kill your dream, bud.
I think the clutch's are illegal once more. The biggest challenge you would face running a silver crown is getting that thing to turn on the tight corners. You likely wouldn't make the 33 car field if the competition is anything like the past few years. Last year was a real stout field of cars and this year looks to be even better.
