can you still win with a leaf car?

I have seen things go in and out in my years and as the pan-hard bar has made it back to the winners circle, it might be fun to re-design and run leaf springs again! The last home built clip leaf car I built ran second mostly and not under 4th for the season against full jigs, 3 and 4 links in a limited late class! At 2468lbs, 108wb it loved to pull both wheels. A .066 350 against dollars and a 421 in a 1900lb late-model just had no chance but it was fun trying! Two years in the building while off racing mods and they changed the rules on us!
