Building New cars for S or SS for 08?
 

Interested if anyone is building new for 08. Specifically building High Hp class cars which could run in TOP/SS or TOP/STK? Anyone building a bigger motor for current car to move up?

I understand from a very reliable source that NHRA will have a 7.5# class in 08. Will this have any bearing on the T/STK weight break for 08? I would like to know before deciding on what size engine to run. It might be a consideration to run T/STK at 8#, instead of 8.25 to allow the new class to participate without adding over 300#. Just a thought.

Arnold, what combination are you running in AA/S? I saw you ran a 9.64 this year. have you ran any faster than that? This run makes you the quickest stocker in the world. do you have any comments for your fans on this board ? JJ..anyways great run 9.64! wow.that's 2 and a half tenths quicker than Keener and Ficacci ever went..

I will be speaking to Dave Ley about his input on the wt for 08. 8.25 has made it an easier reach for both the classes. If it were 8 could the 8.5 cars still reach up to 8 without removing too much wt?
Selfish wish for the 8 might be that then it would be a LUCAS class wt and could be more easily run at Points meets without class conflicts. Thanks.

Wt added problem is really tough when High Hp motors.

I am building a 66 nova 4-door ,327/ 270 hp , Should run D , E & F/SA .My son will run it more than me because i will still be working for IHRA again. I will try to run in a division that i will not be working in. Hope to have fun this year with it . It will also be painted with a MOSER ENGINEERING paint scheme to match my son's Q/R dragster. Hope to see and meet some of you guys that are on this board.Already know most of you .Oh ,4- door was a lot cheaper to find....see ya !! !!

Dick, the LT1, F-body can't get lite enough for 8lb weight break! However i am building a 96 Corvette LT1 which is a natural C, car but it should make the 8lb weight break! Well, i am not building the Car, Jimmy Parker is building it for me!

I have a Viper which will run SS/B,C,D, or E. Sid will drive. Then again I might jump into the Hemi wars. I'm still waiting for the money to change hands for the NHRA deal to see what really happens with Sportsman Racing.
