Re: 2017 SS/GT Indexes
 

There are four new wt. breaks: 6.0 (A), 6.5(B), 7.0 (C) & 7.5(D).

The old 'A' is now 'E' and so on down the line.

Re: 2017 SS/GT Indexes
 

anyone have a link to the new weight breaks?

Thanks

Re: 2017 SS/GT Indexes
 

Now everyone with a GT car gets to buy new class designations. Gee, thanks...

Re: 2017 SS/GT Indexes
 

Are these new classes just for the new high hp engines say 2010-2017 or can you use a old high hp engine say a 427 ford high riser in a fox body or a 454 in some small chevy body?

Re: 2017 SS/GT Indexes
 

As of today on the NHRA site:

The 4 new GT classes are listed...N,O,P, and Q

Re: 2017 SS/GT Indexes
 

Looks like if it fits the weight break you should be able to run it

Re: 2017 SS/GT Indexes
 

If you use an 08 or later motor (copo, scj, or dp) you run fgt. If it's an old motor say a big 69 396 or something, then its gt.

Re: 2017 SS/GT Indexes
 

Many new classes which were requested 20years ago. Namely 6.0,6.5,7,7.5.
.
Only problem is the separation into smaller and smaller numbers per class in the country. Makes it less and less likely for heads up runs at points meets or Open events. Limits the class sizes at Nationals too. Not sure when class will be eliminated at Nationals to save time. Fully Qualified field wouldn't change much for some but a few died in the wool Class racers would miss it.
