That's the loophole that let the 67 Chevy II in, rather than Camaros only.
Right ,Garley Daniels? My car is an old Garley Daniels, but his cars were C/SM. Tom
There was only one class at first, I believe.

Well, That looks like all those cars that replaced gear boxes with Rack and Pinion steering and tubular lower control arms will be in the Chassis shops this winter.

It has never been legal to replace the steering box with a rack in SS/GT cars or change to tubular a-arms.

There are cars that have gone to a coil over shock system. We took a set off a car that couldn't get enough travel and went back to Landrum springs and stock components.

Super Stock GT Rules
I like the change on eliminating weight as a requirement, especially with its potential to keep cost down with bodies(don't need to change that grille and tailight to claim a different year), and creates the opportunity for ultra creative and interesting builds.

Every car is now more versitile. Want to put a few railtrack bars in the *** of the gremlin, run the dragpak 360 motor and do 1/2 track *** scraping wheelies, in FGT/M or N, now you can.

I'm sure Mark is allready pondering his dime and a half ss/gt build!

Anyone know what the new FGT/AA and FGT/BB indexes will be?

Yeah, but the Mavericks would still kill them with HP
