Has anyone changed their mind about AA/SA index? - Page 11

Who cares about a hood? The new cars are all bogus anyway, that ship sailed years ago. This thread is about the AA index.

Where as in the past, just certain factory cars were and still are bogus right? I would love to hit the "Reset Button" on a whole lot of cars. THAT would sure change the face of Stock!
The new cars are cool, really popular and here to stay.

My point is this was a semi-productive discussion on the AA index that has gone off path. Hence, the "who cares about a hood" comment for this discussion. Especially on a car that doesn't run AA.

I didn't change it. What I have done is spoke to officials with NHRA about the new Hellcat as a stock car, and with that creating at least a 7.00 lb class and maybe for the future a 6.5 lb class. and moving the index from 10.60 to 10.80, and the new classes 2 tenths lower each for any they create.. I pointed out the drop of 4 tenths from A to AA and it seems to be severe. I think if we can get them to look, they will realize it is and maybe change it. The Hellcat is here and the ADR model of the Hellcat is on the drawing board. I think Ford has several out there too. Currently I know the 426 64/65 runs AA as does several Chevys; I think the 427 and 396 but I don't know which is which. I think one or two of the Max Wedges can get there. 4 tenths is a lot for about 225 lbs. I think I will send the 7.00 deal to some of the SRAC members as well as NHRA officials just to remind them about the class. If the ADR Hellcat is produced, it has it's own hood, no option. I can send that to Greg, Andrew, and Bruce so we don't deal with this again. Bye the way, that's a cheap shot.

We actually wanted a 7.0# class, for the L-88 Corvette, and the ZL-1 Camaro, as well as a couple of Hemi cars, as they actually fit a 7.0# class better, at their current factors. At the time, no one was running a T-bolt. The 7.5# class was a compromise to allow cars that were running in A @ 8.0#, but could not legally get to a 7.0# class get to AA.

It has been suggested that 1.00# weight breaks starting at 7.00 as A would be the way to go. I'm not at all opposed to it.

LOL I would need that index to qualify near the top

Hey, this Mopar Hood deal is sounding strangely similar to the same situation as the 69 Chevy cowl hood. Duh!
Slap-Slap wake me up... am I just dreaming what I just thought I read?
