Class clarifications

Brett C · 05-07-2012, 04:34 PM

Noticed this weekend in Atlanta that there were 3 of the new Mustangs entered in 3 different classes which were SS/AAA, SSA/A, SS/AA.
Can anyone explain the differences in those 3 classes?

Confused!

It's called run what you want. It's a new class for all you Mustang guys-pick a blower, pick a head, pick a cam, pick a throttle body. I guess I'm feeling better so now I want squabble with everyone.

Pick a knee, Pick a hip, Pick a heart... Well not the last one Jeff 'cause yours is irreplacable. New is not always better...

The new hip has three positions, so I can't run stock anymore. Mustang people do this to me, and I think they do it on purpose. Even the old car advocates aren't like those people. Think about this, get some Honest Charley curb feelers, stick them outboard the grille on a new pony car, and it looks like a catfish. I heard Jesse Kershaw said that, but since I can't verify it, I won't say that.

"Looks like a Catfish"............now that is funny.....I think I agree.

It used to be the lowest HP/weight SS break was "A" for sticks and "AA" for automatics (second "A" denoting automatic). They added lower HP/weight break classes to accommodate the new, faster cars like the supercharged Mustangs. The did that by adding more "A"s. So for a stick, they added a class SS/AA. But that designation was already used for "A" break automatics, so they changed the old SS/AA to SSA/A (super stock A, automatic). So SS/AA is a stick at break "AA", SS/AAA is an automatic at break "AA" and SSA/A is an automatic at break "A". SS/A was left alone and is still a stick at break "A". Clear as mud, huh?

So did Skillman run a stick this weekend in Atlanta?
