Are you getting my drift here? I will guarantee you that if you do away with shipping weights, there will be a push for light weight stuff within a couple of years. It's what Racers do.

If you want no shipping weights then run the superstock classes of Modified, FGT and GT. Leave the rest of Stock and Superstock alone! Quit all the rule changes...and the proposed rule changes! If you don't like the rules then run the local associations and change their rules. Heck, Charlie, you have the power to change the GLSSA rules. |

2. Sounds good to me in Stock and SS. BUT it should probably be put to a vote. A real vote. Too many Racers will be affected to not. With 1 lb. classes, the higher classes in Stock would be a real bloodbath. 3.This sounds good to me too. It should have been done when NHRA instituted the AHFS. Oh, wait a minute, you apparently have issues with the AHFS too! Are you one of those WOKE people?

Re: Shipping weights
Billy I am going to make it simple as well. We are not going back in time. Those were great racing times no question. But time doesn’t stand still and some old rules need to change with time and technology.
I for one am glad haft of those old stocker rules like valve spring pressure are gone.

Re: Shipping weights
Hard to believe Grubbs wants the rule to stay the same. If no shipping weights are used Everyone with C and B stocker will be ditching weight to get to AA and A and they won’t be able to bracket race in AA anymore. Once again it’s what’s good for them not the class

Re: Shipping weights
If Stock and SS don't start rolling back some new rules that have changed to make Racers with "new" combos happy then we will soon see "new" combos running what will be essentially ET-2 but is called Stock and the older combos will be running nostalgia stuff.

Re: Shipping weights
I’m to fat to get my 69 camaro to AA. But if they would let new and old cars race in regular stock I’m in for AA with my CJ

Bill I would love to run AA/SA. If we use the logic that some on here have used, I would be a shoe in. I also put light weight seats in my car, took out the rear seat, use light weight rear and tires, no exhaust system, light weight wheels, aluminum radiator, plus a lot more weight removed. Why shouldn't my car get the same gift the 2015 Camaro's got. Then I could fit in AA/SA. Darren, your cars run my class and I thought it was a chitty deal right from the start. Between the factory bogus HP and using the wrong shipping weight. I do want to see the newer cars in Stock and know it's a tough deal to make them work with the right shipping weight, but it doesn't make it right. I can forget the whole deal if you take the block from under Jeff's gas pedal and he runs the car all out at Gainesville. BP PS let me know what run so I can watch.
