Re: Early 1970s Raceway News Scans
1973 NHRA Super Stock and Stock Class Weight Factors
Cook and Leong
1971 Dodge Charger R/T ~ 426 Hemi ~ Class 'B/SA'
In 1973,
The NHRA had re-factored the 1971 426/425 HP {Hydraulic Camshaft} to {450 HP}
#3839 lbs. ~ 450 HP = 8.53 Wt/HP
Now that was one nice weight break for 1973.
For Stock Class, any tires {DOT approved} that could fit within the Rear Fenderwell was permitted. This Charger R/T had 12" Wide Tires.
In 1973 Stock Class, you had run thru a full exhaust system {No Headers}.
Rumor has it, that this 1971 Dodge Charger R/T was 'chemically engineered' at the factory by Chrysler.
