Re: What's wrong with Stock?
Jeff Teuton proposed a new set of classes for the new factory cars at least 2-3 years ago, maybe longer. A set of classes from A to F, with one pound weight breaks, from 6 pounds to 11 pounds per HP.
That would be great for the factories, as well as fair and equitable treatment for all.

Buff, that'd be a good idea as long as there isn't something like that stick 5.7 Challenger to upset all the rest of the class.

Re: What's wrong with Stock?
Question, not that anybody would be crazy enough to try.... but do the new classes like AA/S and AAA/S allow cars which couldn't run in stock before due to fitting way above 8lbs. Something like a 427 Cobra would be fun to run if the new cars were exiled to other classes.

Re: What's wrong with Stock?
Hi Tom. That was part of the AHFS, that only factors a car based on transmission type (I can agree with that somewhat). The same 5.7 rated 305 (337 I believe tomorrow) with a stick is 421 with an automatic. Having all the new ('08 and newer) cars run each other in FSS will almost assure that, sooner than later, all the soft combos will get HP. Much like the EFI classes did to each other in 2003-2007.

These cars are purchased through a dealer. I can not find in the rule book where it needs to be driven away. Times have change - NHRA has changed - the world has changed. Next year there will be 50 FSS cars - then what? Change the index to 9.70 and 10.0 and the problem will go away for now, Unless people keep finding new things which need to be changed - LMFAO

Re: What's wrong with Stock?
Soooo I will ask the question you just opened the door for. Where do I buy a Challenger factory equipped with the V-10 motor?

Mr. Hagburg at Mile High Nationals. He had me beat and I knew it was coming! I have spent MANY HOURS working on my car and after my .006 tree to his .112 he got out of it at the end of the track and still won! Feel free to take a look here. http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=287884 This has done nothing but make me want to work harder on my car and make it faster for our next heads up race. Like I have posted before I know of many older combos out there with 1.00+ under the hood but they make sure they protect there combos. Meanwile some of the guys in the newer cars slaughter the combos at every race. So yes, there are more then some would like to think. I may be new but if you don't think I spend long hours working on my car my wife and son can tell you other wise!!! IMO if new cars race on the ladder they must live under the same AHFS everyone else does and every race I run this is the case. Indy is the only one they toss it of for the FSS car's and I understand why people get mad.

Re: What's wrong with Stock?
Finally .. a simple answer .. I bought ours through Jeff Teuton's Southland dodge in 2011 .. the only year it was offered to the lucky 50 .. but somehow I am sure that answer will not be good enough.
