Jeff, we won't run the combo. We will run the Thanks For Coming, But It's Time For You To Go Eliminator, or shortened up PG Eliminator or Please Go. But not to be outdone, the New Car Garage drivers will just get together and have beverages and play rock, scissors, paper to establish the class winners because we all have our own class (say Comp eliminator). We can save our stuff, and the Manufacturers will front the beverages. You know the deal; Lemons, Lemonade etc.

Mr. Teuton,
Any idea if there will be a weight break for automatic cars in the FGT classes? It seems other classes where manual/autos are combined, there is a 5% or 250lb (whichever is less) weight break. It seems if indexes are being lowered to the manual GT indexes, this may make since for us automatic cars!

The new cars/motors get the stick shift GT indexes. I don't have any details other than that. I have heard nothing else. Why don't you ask your Div Tech Director. I have used my yearly allowable emails to NHRA. Or your SRAC rep might be able to help. If you find out anything, please let me know. jefft@southlanddodge.com

Many classes have large numbers at the end of the year, but at most races, the class is not populated. And of course Indy has everyone. If I was an excel guru like you, I would do a deal showing how many times each racer went to a race. I think maybe Nitro Joe (famous stat guy) could and it would shed more light on just who is racing. You could add up the races listed in the Lucas National Points now listed, but I don't think it would show where or when or what division. I looked at this after I was looking in my classes SS/KA and GT/HA and found they were about equal in participation yearly, but GT/HA had more cars at the races I attended. Now most of my races are in Div 2 and Div 4 so maybe it's a Southern thing. SS/JA seems to have lots of participants. Is SS/JA the first class the has one pound breaks? Maybe that's it.
SS/IA is the highest 1 lb class, isn't it? Lots of cars around. 350". 351", 360", and 3200/3300 lbs. guys crying about fuel injection evidently have to race Lloyd Wolford's 9 second (if he felt like it) SS/JA 360" Volary heads up. I used to see that car in my sleep. Sonny & James made that thing fly. I like SS/JA because there is always at least ( normally more) when we run class, and we get some heads ups. I have tried to work the lader for heads ups, but I seldom pull it off. They are usually a surprise. :-) I have never had to run that combo deal. Looks like a good way to get some hp.

SS/I-IA starts the 1 pound classes.

SS/H 9.50-9.99
SS/I 10.00-10.99
SS/J 11.00-11.99

And so on. I wrote this for ClassRacer a few years ago: http://classracer.com/classes.html

Ed,
Remember the Volare had a carburetor too...

That was a point I was trying to make. May not have been clear about it. I don't remember any fuel injected cars out running it. I sure didn't.

Quite a few SS/JA cars are LT-1 stockers running in super stock.

I see DP Stockers running SS also. Like at. a second under. Used to, anyway. LOL

Looks like the weight breaks and indexes are up for the new fs and fsgt classes on nhraracer.
