Dodge Dakota in S/S??

Chris DeGidio · 09-17-2010, 06:17 PM

Unless I'm reading the class specs wrong,I don't see a factor to run the Dakota in super stock.I do see a note that says "stock only not eligible for super stock"...what gives? I know I've seen the mid size trucks in S/S.

I was looking at the 5.9 Drag pak combo and then was looking for a non GT class and couldn't find it

If this needs to move to the tech section,no problem.

I imagine it would run GT/TA or GT/TB. You would take the shipping weight of the year truck in question, divided by the HP rating of the engine in question, to determine Classification.

(edit) 1995 Dakota, 112" wheelbase, shipping weight 2,835 pounds. 2009 5.9 Dodge engine rated 275 HP. 2,835 divided by 275 = 10.30, making it a GT/TA.

GT class but no regular S/S class??

Correct. GT Truck, Modified Truck, or Stock only.

Chris,

The Dodge Dakota that Shane Studley has listed for
sale here on classracer in the race car section is run
in GT with a 360 motor.

With the drag pak engines being fuel injected, GT Truck is the only class they fit....Modified Truck requires a carb....

Mike...can you use the shipping weight for a 4 cylinder truck even if you are installing a V8 in it ?.....a V8 Dakota is about 200 lbs. heavier.....

D L Rambo......
