Corvette's in Factory X

Factory X is a dead player. Soon it will be just another class in Comp.

Billy, I agree with you, but I hope we're both wrong. The intention was good!

But by allowing the Corvette in, they have changed the original premise. I can't see that as being a good thing. As noted above, what's next? The Fffford GT and Viper?

Apparently GM requested a Vette X class, with Challenger and Camaro production ending I imagine they wanted to stake out who the class will cater to.

Lonnie told us at the vegas race there was 3 people who had cars built for another class that with a engine location change it would work in FX, That was his reasoning. I am waiting to see how they make the engine location work under the hood

Sooooo, when can we expect NHRA to allow Super Gas cars in Stock?

The addition of the Corvette to FX was not a factory request by Chevrolet; it was a racer request that NHRA approved.
Chevrolet learned about it when other racers reached out to them.
