NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

Hot off the press:

As we approach the 60th annual Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals, the NHRA Technical Department wanted to take a moment to remind all competitors of the rules for the Factory Stock Showdown. Below you will see the rules for each of the two classes: FS/A and FS/B. In addition to these rules, the cars must also meet all requirements as outlined in the 2014 NHRA Rulebook. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact the NHRA Technical Department at TechDL@nhra.com.

FS/A:
· Index: 10.10
· Supercharged entries only
o Cars with a 2.3L Eaton supercharger must weigh a minimum of 3,400 lbs.
o Cars with a 2.9L Whipple supercharger must weigh a minimum of 3,550 lbs.
FS/B:
· Index: 10.35
· Naturally Aspirated entries only
o Entries up to 400 CID must weigh a minimum of 3,250 lbs.
o Entries up to 430 CID must weigh a minimum of 3,350 lbs.

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

Sir the FS/B class that's over 430cid weigh 3500lbs correct?

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

Is over bore included in the CID or just the factory CID?

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

2011 Dodge V10 entries must weigh a minimum of 3,500 lbs.

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

Yes, sorry! Didn't realize that didn 't paste.
The V10 is 3500.

As far as the over bored motors, I cannot answer, only the NHRA tech department can.

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

This is the displacement before overbore.

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

Who's the favorite to win the NA class? What about the blower class?

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

Right now, I'd go with Holbrook and either Barton or Patterson.

However, there are a LOT of really good cars that will be contenders:
* NA - Connolly who was runner up last year, Hankinson in the Gray Motorsports COPO (you know it won't be slow), Allegrucci's V-10 will be really tough now that it's in with the NA cars...there's also Harrison's 426 Challenger and I'm guessing one of the Teuton Challengers will have a 426 in it. What about the still unseen Ford 429 CJs?

* Blower - I think a lot of the CJs are pretty close in performance. Butner (Emmons now has this car, of course) and Skillman were the fastest last year, but then you have guys like Gary Richard and Candies who aren't very far behind. Bruno's COPO has been running very well, plus Porter in Jimmy Vasser's COPO who hammered the AA/SA record a few weeks back...

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

Can't wait for the show!

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

As far as the blower cars...Alot will be shown at the Cobra Jet Shootout in Norwalk...stay tuned!
Word is over 40 CJs here.
Will try to update if possible. As from previous events, cell service is tough at the track. Will do my best.

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

I may be one sided but I believe it's going to be a southern shoot out!
Candies in the blow class and Helms with a pretty Red car loaded with a 426!
Get em Boyz!!

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

I'm looking forward to watching any of this that I hopefully will see on "You Tube" (I hope Robzneed4spd, will be there for the action from all of you guy's cars)!

I wish the 2015 Dodge Challenger "HELLCAT" was already out so one of the entries could be one of them....just curious who's going to run one of them in Stock/Super Stock? You Jeff? Candies? Keith Lynch? Kevin Helms? I wish I could say ME, but that's way out of my financial reach for now...but I would if I could, and there especially!!!!

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

I think the Prototype might be in Indy. New 426 and blown car. All this is rumor of course.

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

I think Mopar should give one of them away as a door prize at the BBQ, lol.

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

That would be interesting wouldn't it Mr Jeff? Rumors, HMMM

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

I wouldn't be surprised if I don't see you racing one of them someday, if not soon huh Jeff? That would be cool....

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

I actually went to the line and watched the FS shootout.. I kind of like it...its new and appealing to the fans and brings back the 3 factory cars into battling... but i do not like the fact they can go as fast as they want and not get hit with HP, but yet and still can be included in the qualifying ladder.

Are clutch cars not legal? i noticed next door to our pit, Fezell was putting an automatic in his car!!

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

For me, the Factory Showdown was the highlight of my Indy trip. I hope there are even more cars next year and the racing action is even closer. Great show!

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

Seems some of the predictions in the NA class were a little off. Who woulda thunk it?

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

Great win for you and Kevin, Jeff! Will you be in St. Louis by chance?

-Jeff Johnson

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

It looks like the "other" V10 may be the one to watch in the future. . Thanks Jeff for allowing me to drive such a great car.

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

We plan on going to Shreveport and then Dallas National. After that Kevin is having Emily in October so that might end the year for both of us. I might go it alone in Oklahoma later, but nothing for sure yet. Stubbs, you did good. It was a good time and to have two cars in the final four feels pretty good. Probably spoiled some folks parties.

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

Jeff, It was a pleasure to shake your hand in the lanes after your team beat the COPO Camaro. Thanks for the pizza and beer and the opportunity to "party" with all the great sportsman racers.

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

It was a good Friday Night Party. We also fed Pro Mod and supplied several folks with beer when it was discovered Indy don't sell beer on Sunday. Really good time and I slept really well.

Re: NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Rules
 

For me setting at home,the Jeff,Kevin and Kevin show was the greatest!
Great job guys!
