2015 Rules
Stock allowed aluminum radiators & Head bolt studs
|
Re: 2015 Rules
And they mentioned something about Factory Stock classes but mostly I was happy about the head studs.

Re: 2015 Rules
2008 and newer CobraJets/Dragpacks/Copo are in their own classes now, so have at it! Good move by NHRA. SS/CS index should get lowered next year with the acceptance of "aftermarket heads", another good move by NHRA.

Re: 2015 Rules
Good move on the radiator deal since our old copper/brass ones are hard to find.

Re: 2015 Rules
Very interesting! Where can we get more information?

Re: 2015 Rules
Finally! Glad 2008 and later cars are in their own classes now, hopefully people bring out even more new cars to fill them!

Re: 2015 Rules
Thank you Mike.

Re: 2015 Rules
Interesting that NHRA has combined the sticks and autos in the new classes. Or at least there is no designation for autos in this release.

Re: 2015 Rules
Interesting they dropped the 2009 or newer to 2005 and newer for pro stock entries. I guess they are trying to make sure they get full fields.

Re: 2015 Rules
Great the new cars are in there own class but they are still in stock & super stock, how is this going to help the old iron for qualifying at Indy?

Re: 2015 Rules
Damn now I have to cut new vinyl for both cars and try and figure out where they fit again....Glad I have all winter. Very glad to see new classes for the new cars, that should make the Pre 2008 car owners happy.
However....where are the indexes listed? If they are soft, and all the new cars are 1.0+ under there will be all the same amount of of crying going on. If they are tough then you will have an ever increasingly number of new car owners crying. Does this mean that all the FS cars in stock run heads up and off their indexes like the "factory shootout" now? Does my 2009, 6.1 Hemi that could "only" go .839 under and not make the show at Indy this year have a chance to qualify? So far this is just a list with a bunch of letters. |
Re: 2015 Rules
saw stock replacement radiator few years ago was all alum. tanks and all looked like copper brass radiator except tanks were welded to core

Re: 2015 Rules
Chuck,
Hopefully they will have to live and die by the same sword as everyone else with AHFS. Then it will take care of itself, not quickly though. Not that this affects S/SS, Pro stock bike and car are Sunoco only on fuel now. The aluminum radiator has been needed for some time, even the 80's cars and finding a good core has become expensive. I can't imagine what you guys with the older cars spend on one. Sean |

Re: 2015 Rules
Still don't get why you would create separate GT classes for post 2008 combos without lowering the weight break. Your still eliminating a lot of the combos that people could potentially run.

Re: 2015 Rules
Great to see the old and new separation to help because of the inability to adequately factor but once again more and more separation of cars into smaller and smaller classes. I know its all a dial in on points meets etc but .....At least that part of the problems is solved...
|
Re: 2015 Rules
Lot of changes in GT, which I think only 21 cars are new cars or have new car motor combos. That is about 5%. Doesn't make sense. According to Nitro Joes' stats, 366 gone down the track in GT this year thru Sept. On the Modified thing, that is someone's personal agenda that NHRA bought. Looks like bringing the chillers to the back of staging is gone. But I thought it was gone sometime back and still allowed.

Re: 2015 Rules
It's about time! Now was that so hard? Radiators that is? maybe somebody at NHRA swoke up and the thought of someomes REAL 68 or 69 427 COPO Camaro or Hemi Cuda/Challenger popping a 40+ year old radiator and crashing a $150to200 k+ stocker along with possibly serious injury to 1 or more drivers. no brainer here ya'll ;)

Re: 2015 Rules
I don't see to much wrong with the new classes or rules except the carb combos that naturally fall in bb/sa have to run aa/sa (wich was cc/sa)now at a 7.5 wb. or am I miss reading it?

Re: 2015 Rules
Just looked into my crystal ball and it told me aluminum radiators will cost 20% more in the near future.
|
Re: 2015 Rules
Wow.
Hoped they would put the shootout engines in there own class. This kinda sucks for the normal 427 folks. :( |

Re: 2015 Rules
The proof of the pudding of the new rules will be the Index that the new classes will run off of. To soft an index and the only thing that will change at the 2015 US Nationals will be the letters on the cars.
