Thanks for 'splaining Brian. I kinda wondered if you converted to a stick (YES, you should!) and the ZL1 got refactored to the 570hp the muscle car books claim it makes.
Better go turn the screws to Armstrong and see if you can get another 8 tenths out of it. :)

The new classes are as confusing as heck and if this many people can't figure it out that's not a good sign.
I'm not sure what bonehead decided to make SS/AA the stick double A class rather than call that one by the new SSA/A title.

I still think they should of kept SS/AA as old SS/AA class and rules, and made the new classes either SS/AFX or AFC (factory car), SS/BFX or BFC ,SS/CFX or SS/CFS.
Oh well..........

That is a good idea. We need to do something to stop the alphabet soup madness. Don't know if NHRA will buy it, but need to fix the mess before it gets worse. Pretty soon we will have AAAA/SA OR SS/AA/AA. How can the racers petiton NHRA to fix the class designations?? Any ideas????

But after running time runs, i did ask NHRA if the car could still run the class or i would i get tossed, and i was told this AM that it is a SS/A/A car and i could move up a class, but like someone said how did it get though tech, tech man just was worried about my headlight was not wired up, Go figure?????and if ya all think the car couldn't run the index LOL shame on you, first rd was red and run a 8.76 on a 8.76 and still had more , but the moral of the story, i don't have HP Monday and not trigger anything. looks like have to change combo's soon and for the class runoff, i stood it up high and pretty near crossed into Chris lane, i was just hoping i could catch the draft behind Chris's car and pull me along with him, impressive run by Chris Later Brian

Congrats Brian!!!!! My apologies about dialing and index...was merely concerned about the class confusion...like obviously alot were. Way to go! And truly you have the best traditional SS in my opinion!! Bad ***!!!
