Super Stock GT... new rules
 

You guys running Super Stock GT may want to read the updated rule changes. Not sure how big of a deal it is as I don't run the class, but it may be for you guys.

Super Stock GT Rules

Re: Super Stock GT... new rules
 

Advantage FWD cars versus RWD cars as regards to front suspension:
"RWD must retain complete stock front-suspension system as produced by manufacturer for body used". The use of an NHRA accepted front suspension has been deleted.

A few times I requested the allowance of aftermarket Chrome Moly cradle/crossmembers for RWD cars such as Camaros and Mustangs, making easy to use a big oil pan and servicing. Even Bruce Bachelder complemented my proposal that included pictures, drawings and comparisons between FWD converted cars and RWD cars and he did not see a problem, only to get a call from Bruce that it had been shot down by two people in Glendora.

Also notice a big change to the weight break calculations and the addition of two new classes: FGT/AA and FGT/BB.

If I am reading this correctly, one of the changes is that the shipping weight of the vehicle used no longer matters in GT? You can get any car as light or heavy (within ballast rules) as you want to run GT?

That is what it appears.

Does it look like a Gt car can be a 4dr now?

Re: Super Stock GT... new rules
 

If only they allowed 4 cylinders in GT also....lol

Re: Super Stock GT... new rules
 

Along with other strange rules, why does a Modified Stock need to be '67 or newer but a Modified can be any year? Also agree that it is strange that a SS/GT can only be V8?

Makes my head hurt, hopefully Dwight will work his magic so I can explore some other possibilities....sympathy to those who are taking a big hit to gain nothing

Jim,

Since the Ford Pinto was available with a V-6, how about a Pinto with the CJ Windsor 352 or 428 engine in GT class? :D:D:D

I know you're joking but header fit would be a nightmare, you would need at least a 1 3/4 / 1 7/8 step and there isn't even room for a 1 5/8. I think I'll stick with the 4 cylinder stuff.
