I agree...the lower stock cars (N/S to U/S)

Hey Teddy, lighten up! Joe had his stuff long before the 302 welfare scandal broke.

V and W aren't as "diverse" as U.

Re: What is the Most diverse class in stock eliminator?
Lower class cars are way Cool! I remember the first time I saw Ellis Buth's Pinto SW at Indy, it was love at first sight. I remember first going to IHRA races with my brother in the early 80's. I loved seeing the Pintos, Vegas, Corvair, Old's 88, and inline six cylinders in Stock. I got a kick watching the long head starts. Three of the killers in IHRA stock back in the day were Ray Head's 60 Impala 283 2bbl, Randall Campbell's nova wagon with a inline six, and J.T. Allen's malibu with a 200 V6. Those three guys won more than their share of races.

So, to anyone who has not...Pick a body style with a 302 that hasn't been used yet, protect that combo, and you should be good for about 10 years, with that NHRA gift.

Re: What is the Most diverse class in stock eliminator?
With all the data available to NHRA it just makes me wonder how they don't see the error they made with the 302 Fords. All they need to do is look at the qualifying sheets, the records set and where the numbers were before their adjustment to know they made a mistake.
There is a lot of diversity in U without the help of miscalculated HP combinations, but if it weren't for NHRA's HP Committee, where would all the fun be. Why look at numbers (60', 330', 660' etc.) from previous runs during the year to determine possible miscalculations when you can just turn an ear to the whiners and make your changes. And let us not forget the racers who cry that it is a performance based category while they lift to protect their precious combos. The U class is the most diverse, period.
