On www.nhraracer.com a new rule revision for Stock and S/S dated 9/12/2017 has been posted.
The old rule read...Driver and passenger-side seats must be identical in appearance. The new rule reads as follows: If a full-sized corporate OEM driver’s seat is used, the passenger seat must be identical in appearance to the driver’s seat. If a full-sized aftermarket driver’s seat is used the passenger seat must be full-sized and identical in appearance to the driver’s seat being used or must be a full-sized corporate OEM passenger-seat. That means an aftermarket passenger seat cannot be drilled full of lightening holes or have the upper portion/head rest cut off. Its time for a few racers to buy a new passenger seat because they butchered the seat. |

I know this isn't going to be a popular statement with some. But Now that we are racing against 150+ MPH Copo's etc. I honestly think ALL Cars running in Stock/SS should have a min of a 6 point roll bar, and belts.

This is comical. NHRA let's factory race cars compete in stock, some running parachutes, yet real stockers are being B**ched at over passenger seats modifications like a missing head rest?! This is almost as comical as Barton's class wins counting towards his national point total and putting him in the Top 10.

I like this revision and I think it's aimed at some of the newer style SS cars. The passenger seat looks like crap when they cut the top section off.

I think 150+ MPH Copo's etc. should be in their own eliminator, instead of changing the rules for 16 second cars.

Sooooooo, I can use aftermarket aluminum cylinder heads and intake manifolds on certain Stockers. I can use a cold air hood on certain Stockers even though it didn't come with one. I can use the wrong trim parts on certain, wrong year Stockers, in the wrong class, get it hit with HP and that's all OK. I CAN'T lighten the stock seat or mix and match stock seats but I CAN put light weight aftermarket seats in any Stockers. I think I've got it now.
