SS/A (and SS/AH) = 6.00
SS/B = 7.00
SS/C = 8.00
SS/D = 9.00 and so on
So if a car were to fall into this ''new'', natural SS/C at 8 pounds (something like a 426/425-450 '67 Street Hemi Plymouth), they would have to add/subtract 450 pounds to move to what would be the 'new' SS/B and SS/D classes, or 900 pounds of total adjustable weight, to make all three. That's an awful lot of weight. You would almost have to make a rule that a car can run it's natural class only, in 1 pound classes. So if a 427/425 Camaro has a weight break of, say, 8.53, it could only run the new SS/C(A).

Mike, I understood what you were saying. That's why once I saw people were under the impression I might have meant one pound weight breaks in Super Stock, I posted that I was speaking
only about Stock when I suggested one pound weight breaks, and was
not suggesting one pound weight breaks in Super Stock.
