    I have a friend that bought a bugeye Sprite a while back and is now redoing the car. He was told it was an old race car but didn't really count on it with all the mods it has. Such as a Datsun engine/trans and suspension/brakes in it. He knew it was a frankenstein car when he bought it but the price was right and seemed decently done. Recently he started digging into the car. First was body, after removing several coats of paint he found numbers painted on it along with H/G class painted on it. Now he wants to know what H/G class means. Race in 2 classes? Does anyone here know what it means and/or can explain what H/G class means?

    That would be my guess as well, the drag racing classification thing. And probably is. But it could also have been a roadracing car prior to the mods for drag racing. The H/G could have been H-Production and G- Production. Some guys who run Nationals have been known to make an engine swap and run in two races.

    I need a ride for 2011
