SS engines need identified clearly (on weight sticker)

[thomas sheehan]

Did you ever walk up to a SS car and wonder what engine a racer is using in his SS/GT car?
Look his weight sticker.... Can you tell what engine combo they are running? (especially in a GT car?).... most of the time, the answer is NO.
Right now, all you know is the Cubic Inches, The Factory HP, and the NHRA hp.
These stickers should reflect a combo and should have an 8 or 10 digit number assigned to every combo in the classification guide.
For example.... mine should read 78p318155t....
78 = 1978
p = plymouth
318 = factory cubic inches
155 = factory hp
t= thermoquad

Am I missing something... I think this would make it very easy to identify different combos being used, and also very easy to the people tracking them too!

Along this same line with the new tech system at Nationals. Will we even have a weight sticker??

Just to assist the guy at the scales, especially if he doesn't yet have the info from your tech card when you make your first pass...but seems to me that Tom's suggestion has merit.

I usually just ask the guy with the car which engine he has.

You shouldn't have to Ed.... It should be clearly coded on the window sticker.

155 HP ? Your 1/4 Mile ET is 16.02
Your 1/4 Mile MPH is 91.99

I never worried too much about what combo somebody else is running. Always trusted the tech guys to get it right. I would hate to be the guy they caught cheating. Would not feel like I outran anybody if I stooped to that.

Ed, I think you are misinterpreting Tom's point.
Read the first line again.
Tommy, I'm one of those guys!
But , you really don't think anyone out there gives a crap about this, do you?

Lots of time, the Div. tracks use the local bracket tech guys. This would be really pushing it for them.

Probably have to do it ourselves.. Get a sponsor for some little decals, and fill in the blanks.

Mark, guess I need to get out more. I mostly run Div 4 & Div 5, no bracket tech guys there. Same gentlemen that often tech us at national events. Sharp guys. May not be that way in other divisions. Sorry if I offended anybody.
