Thats intersting, I would say if that IS in fact true the rule is poorly written the word "reserved" means allowed but not required as in the context it is used in the rulebook in regards to the F classes.
Which would mean only FWD can run in it but are not limited to it. I guess I spent way too much time in my life reading legal docs.....any lawyers wanna chime in on this ?
I do believe you, Im just confused, seems like that needs EXPLICITY stated in the rules, not just assumed by both NHRA and the Competitors.
Other classes, SS, SS/GT etc make explicit explanation of what is allowed in what and required etc. Why not stock ? Simple wording I would say.
Interesting, I just talked to Bachelder about something else and he confirmed that they MUST run in the F classes..........
Guess it was an accident to let me run across in Q/SA (mine too
Lol....oh well live and learn, thanks all......
