Want to loose 3200 ugly pounds?

Jeff Teuton · 05-09-2011, 09:09 AM

Contact your Division Director, your SRAC member, or NHRA and support the proposal for new classes in Stock and Super Stock. 6.0, 6.5, and 7.0 in stock (call it A/FX or whatever) and a 5.5 lb class for Super Stock. Give the new high horsepower cars a destination and they might disappear from your complaint box. Imagine that! All the safety rules are already in place, so that ain't an issue. After class, it's a bracket race anyway, and almost all of the folks with these cars won't be on your horizon. Might be the late 60.s all over again. It's out there. Just needs support from the racers, Chevy to get in the field, and stop the Mississippi from rising. All easily done. Trust me. Might be a nice heads up ring on Saturday.

if nhra would put all fuel injected cars aa to d in there own class that would be a quick fix.

For gods sake, isnt this what we all have been bitchen for the last two years. That lets the old cars stay in the mix and should have been done already. What the heck is nhra waiting for?

Stock doesn't need a class lighter than 7.0 pounds per cubic inch (and we can start the class there at A being 7.0). Even at that weight, some cars can easily exceed the safety margin, what little is left, of 9" tires and stock based suspension. The last thing we need in Stock is a bunch of out of control cars, there's no need to start wrecking stuff like they do in those outlaw classes.

If you need more help for them for Stock, put them in FX classes, say A thru C, then adjust the weight rules and HP to keep them safe on 9" tires.

Otherwise, just let them run themselves out of the class.

I'm all for a 7 pound class in stock.

IHRA has had a 7.0 lb class for years and very few ever ran it. The FI cars are seperate from older stockers and again the new cars very seldom show up other than Jeff T.. I think they are all on an ego trip to show off in NHRA. .

IHRA has AA/FI, BB/FI and probably go to CC/FI, DD/FI if needed.
these classes are for the 2008 and up (newer cars)
That is "classess of their own"

Yup, solved it before it ever was one..

If we are going to factor them that close, then the 396's and 428's all got to get hit to slow them down for the rest of C Stock. Maybe hit the 273 in U/SA or hit about 19.8 combo's of 350 Chevys to make them run the same as the rest, and the 396/325, that got to get hit, for one thing it is way too fast for SS, Sounds like dumbing-down-America so everyone is the same. We have run a Viper for a friend on 9 inch tires @ 9.20 @ 148. Smooth as glass. The new V10 car I got @ 144 is like driving to the grocery. Any of yall ever been that fast? The title of this thread says it all. You want to get rid of most of the new cars, make new classes and let them beat each other up. No evil, no bull, no nothing else, all the cars are certified to 8.50 and you got the net, collar, etc. Where was all this factoring and evening-up before the new cars. Must have been buried in the back of the brain, or maybe the new cars are in a class where you were the dominant car. The new cars are here just like the new cars in the 60's, then the 90's. I guess if the GM cars were ahead of the goats and ovals, it would be ok with most people.
