[Syty] Would a Sy/Ty do good at...

(just received my gift subscription of Hot Rod Mag and they did the Hot Rod Pump Gas Nat`ls writeup)

It looks like the Pump Gas Nationals would be a good "candidate" for a fast AWD Syclone, or Typhoon,
for national exposure (in my head).  But I wonder if 93 octane would be a limiting factor?  The rules state:
-10 gallons of 93 octane
-30 mile "driving test"
-No pre-qualifying at the strip; No posting times for qualifying (to avoid cheating).
- 11 1/4 inch tire restriction, stock type front suspension, NHRA rules (for posted times)
- I think a min approx weight of 3300 lbs and a "non-sticky" track was used with a pro tree.

Now I know some of SyTy owners have fast vehicles, but its my impression that they require
high boost for max hp.  Does this prevent the use of 93 octane (as they wont allow power adders
other than water injection), altho nitrous, turbos, prochargers/superchargers are allowed.
So it appears that really big blocks won in the past, but a small block EFI Camero won this year (a first).

Just curious (not that I could participate or anything), but it would be neat if a SyTy could
wind up in the top 10 (in a contest like this).  So would the detonation "factor" prohibit
SyTy entries...(ie some of the cars/trucks entered ran 10s and 11s, with the 8sec ones
finding traction problems, and the 9sec ones advancing to the finals).

I dont know if there is any major prize money, but it appears that they do have several sponsors.
While the Power Tour and the 1-lap across America draws some SyTy folks, I never see owners
enter Craft Craft Nat`ls or Pump Gas Drags or such.

thanks in advance
