Re: Access to AMA Shipping Weights?
I can get the car Jeff Warren was driving down to about 3050 with him in it.

With the current SW on the '15 Camaro(Natural A car, can run AA/A/B) 1 competitor last year ran AA, 1 ran A and 6 ran B(including Mr. Warren), so obviously the car fits A or B best. The car, if given the proper shipping weight would be capable of running C; therefore needing to add 200#'s. In SS it would go from G/H/I to H/I/J; therefore adding 180#'s from its lowest class. If the solution to the integrity of the Stock Classification Guide is for NHRA and all the squeaky wheels out there is to distort and/or get rid of correct SW's all together and run as low as you can weigh, then I guess there is not need to call ourselves STK and SS....Steel Body, NO-Box Bracket I & II to the lanes!!!

This is a link to an on-going project that I have with Chevrolet. I have noted a lot of weights of things that we removed. Note that just the wheels and tires are over 240 lbs.!! https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=538617 These cars are not even close to Stockers. If I were to convert them, they would easily be 3,000 lbs. including driver.

I can relate as regards the removal of weight in the new cars. I am currently working on a project based on an original 2016 Mustang V6. After removing the drivetrain and all the OEM components that are not required, I was surprised how light the car is without all these parts. The car can easily weigh less than 3000lbs with the driver race ready. |

Re: Access to AMA Shipping Weights?
I believe a lot of the fiction in the Classification Guide was done, as one sponsored racer explanation; “What do you expect, Pontiac the official car of NHRA”. So is that greasing the palm or the wheel, the real question will NHRA fix it
