My vote is for Hobo. I was going to build a car for it. I am not for sure but my brother was talking about building one too. I am building a chrysler wagon and if my brother runs he will bring a ford galaxy.

To preface my statement: I know the phrase, "If I don't like it, don't run". I don't intend to, but am taking an opportunity to share my thoughts with Darren, nothing more. I am quite glad that North East Kansas has decided to embrace the idea of a "Hobo" class. The "Hobo" in "Hobo class" would insinuate that the car is being built on a very limited budget. I don't find your rules to be condusive to staying on a very limited budget, which is disappointing. By allowing old iron cars, more money is often involved, though not always. I did only a quick review of the rules and found no restrictions on engines, transmissions or rearends. Which immediately takes away the thought of "very limited budget". I can run with the same engines, transmissions and rearends in other classes. The major difference seems to be the amount of welding allowed on a car. Thank you for putting on good shows, but possibly next year I would favor a set of "Hobo" rules closer to that of Lawrence where "hobo", by my definition is "hobo". If that isn't the route you are looking to go, I am okay with that and wish you nothing but success.

This is the first part of the rules and rule 3 in the build . There are severl drivers out there that still have some old iron to run that is why I did that and its the same rules they had at the show last year and this is the first year I have put on the show . Hope this helps understanding why I did it this way if it dont work this year I will try somthing different next year Thanks for your input I like to here from everyone it helps to put on shows drivers want to go to and people want to pay to watch Thanks Daren HOBO CLASS Any American make car or station wagon can run with the following exceptions. No 1970 or older Lincolns. No 1973 or older Chrysler Imperials or Imperial sub-frames, 4x4s, ambulance, hearses, trucks, limousines, No 2003 & newer Ford cars or frames, No Distributor protectors, engine cradles, No braced rear ends, No frame welding except for what is allowed in rules.

Darren, thank you for your response and understand where you are coming from. I may keep an eye out for an old iron car. The part of "No Distributor protectors, engine cradles, No braced rear ends, No frame welding except for what is allowed in rules." is duely noted, as is rule #3. I still would like to see general consensus leaning towards the Lawrence rules for a Hobo class, but completely get where you are coming from.
