Att. Bryan You said someone ran a front drive car in SS. Could you pls.
tell me what class that was ? Modified maybe. I was told by a nhra teck person that you could not run a front drive stocker in SS even if it fit the weight break , any clues as to how that works.
thanks. Or if it happened before?

There will always be stockers in SS as long as the rules keep changing and as long as there are combos factored 20-50hp soft. Personally I could care less what the indexes are changed to. But changing the indexes won't help the factoring system (if there even is such a system) correctly factor a combination.

How come nobody brought up the that it looks like NHRA will be able to bring alot less trophy's for class wins to these race's. It takes .5 under to WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, per Bruce at Pomona, a single for class must only run on or under the index. No more .50 under. Contested classes have no restrictions.

Scott Kelley ran a front drive Toyota last year in Super Stock. The SS/BX VW is their first outing with this combo. There is also at one or two other Stocker in the last 7 cars in the field, Scarth and Sorensen.

So from my perspective the index change did not work since there are still Stockers in Super Stock. I still say they should have reduced the index by .5 seconds. It would keep Super Stock Super Stock, not a combo race!

Bryan,

You are right on with that. If you want to change to SS then you have been warned.

Maybe they should've reduced the indexes by 1.00, and removed the AHFS completely. There, y'all can go as fast as you want. Everybody happy? Aww, somebody can't run the index then? Maybe they should just "quit whining and work harder". :rolleyes:

The Country Club will end up destroying itself. Way to go.

May have been better to leave the Stock indexes alone, since that is the closest division to being "entry level". It's not, of course, but is where most people start out. I can't imagine anybody thinking the SS indexes were not too soft.

Michael, like it or not NHRA is likely to be around long after IHRA is gone. I like running both, but NHRA has the well known pros which actually puts people in the stands and pays the bills.

If they can't go fast and compete anymore?...Time to get out, retire and enjoy life. We can alway's build our old iron's new, problem is, we can't always keep up with the iron.
exactly why super stock is on borrowed time, not everyone is well healed enough to keep up, with this type of comment, maybe we all should quit,
