Do you think sticks and automatics should be combined without a weight break to automatics? I agree with Mr. Beard. What's good for one, should be good for all! Nobody cares, except for a select few, that sticks/autos were combined in the new classes with stick indexes being adopted. I bet if they combine ALL sticks/autos and hit all of the auto indexes that there would be a lot more discussion and displeasure on the topic! Just my $0.02! Nick |

And for the record, I don't care which way a ruling goes. If FGT doesn't get a weight break for automatics, then neither should GT/Truck. Or if GT/Truck does, then everybody should. Likewise, if they feel my 10.50-10.80 car is unsafe without a full roll cage, -5 firesuit, competition license, SFI flexplate & shield, then by all means, make it a rule that all cars 10.99-quicker meet those higher requirements. Sure glad I wouldn't be the one fielding THOUSANDS of calls and e-mails from Stock, Super Stock, and bracket racers if they made *that* announcement! Equal application of rules. Period.

Re: New Super Stock weight breaks for 2017
I think the weight breaks are great since it will revitalize some of the older Big Block high HP combinations that had no place in GT. It will separate the front wheel drive cars from some of the tanks since there is still a 2670 lb minimum.
Love to see a 426 in a GT car or Boss 429, L88 427, SOHC 427. Now it is possible in GT!! Bring on the EFI cars for a real Muscle Car race!!

Re: New Super Stock weight breaks for 2017
Bill,
The section where this is listed is for GT and FGT. Look at the proceeding paragraphs, and the ones just after, where it says the COPO Drag pak and Cobra Jet combos must run FGT. Why else would this be necessary if they didn't mean the weight breaks applied to the GT classes as well.
