Ok, I don't know if anyone noticed but a 95 Camaro was bounced from the field after the 3rd round of qualifying. I have info from a reliable source that the car moved four classes. Here is my question, NHRA allowed 98 model F body's to run the LT-1 which was never offered from the facotry. I am not sure what year they finally susperseded that but I think this has lot to do with the confusion of these classes. Several of these cars depending upon what Body parts you have could conceiveably move 4 classes I think because of HP factors. Here is a scenario I would like some of the leading LT-1 experts to explain: say I own a 95 Camaro with the LT-1, naturally a Z28, now I change the hood replacing the Z28 hood with the ram air SS Hood,this changes my weight factor essentially placing me in a different class with a simple hood change because the engines are the same, correct?

Someone please explain where the break is where the LS-1 is used and the LT-1 is not used in the newer 98 and up F body.

I guess someone was really scared of racing that Camaro, funny thing is it wasn't the fastest car in B/SA. If alot of these guys quit playing qualifying games it would be an issue.
