COOL, a MONZA!!
So, since you were in Group 5, you had the (modded?) small block in that thing??
Yes, the latter day rules (I was out of it after ~'04) stated that in lieu of a full, multiple nozzle, trigger system, you could have the two hand-helds (to keep on topic

).
Most folks don't think 'cool' when they see a Monza, but I've had a lot of them and like them.
Had a 310" small block with vortec heads and a small 4bbl. Ran pretty well and the crowd seemed to like it. Had good v8 noises for sure.
4sp, ptrax, kumho rally tires, big lights. Way fun.

I have no idea where we had fire extinguishers, Gary was the brains of the outfit, I just drove where he told me to.
I will say that fire systems aren't THAT expensive so price shop that also. No worrying about getting it out and ready to fire, just pull the darn T handle and WHOOOOOOOSH...
Costas
cars and such...
It's cool because it's different, and not just the standard, obligatory, same old, same old; GTI, WRX/STI, or Evo.

I remember a crew from the midwest running a yellow Fox body 5.0 in Group 5 which they dubbed "The Hairy Canary", also a torquey, sideways, power-sliding, "crowd pleaser".

I agree with Gary that BOTH hand helds, AND a good on-board trigger system is the best solution,
IF one can afford the weight.
