Need help finding rules.

Andrew, some cars will cross over to a SS/Mod Class at NHRA races. SS/PAA-1 = SS/AS or SS/BM, for example. Not sure what would fit what exactly. Although, at an IHRA race several years ago, a racer with a fast SS/BS car claimed SS/PDA-1 once, and an IHRA racer told me it wasn't legal, as SS/Productin has different crank rules and stuff compared to a SS/BM. Might want to check, to be sure a crossover is legal. Also, a SS/PAA-1 (I believe) will have to pull a head for teardown, while a SS/AS, SS/AM is usually just pump-and-go (although I think at one NHRA race they were tearing down some SS/Mod cars. I heard checking bore sizes?). Again, double check with someone.

Michael,

After all these years of following Stock and Super Stock "N" style, I am finally starting to see the light with SS "IHRA style". Gotta' love those Modified, hood scoop wearing SS cars.

I guess I was too lazy to pick up the rulebook. Something about playing with t-stops for far too long!

Andrew,

You and your dad thinking of building an IHRA SS car? Jumping into FJ's CanAm series?

Thanks everyone for the responses and answers to my questions.


Hi Mike,

My dad and I are just assessing the feasibility of building a Super Stocker. Can't deny FJ's series has us interested, hard to turn a blind eye to $1000+ winning purses and decent round money and Championship payouts when sometimes at best we race for $400

Plus at Pittsburgh Div 3 bracket finals last year we saw I think one or two SS/PAA-1 cars running and though that we could have a good working SS car that would also work for local bracket races as well just like these racers seemed to have. Just had to figure out what SS/PAA-1 ment lol

Our only problem is we have to sell some cars before we buy anything more. The car in my avitar and another IHRA legal Hot Rod car we have will need to be moved first.


Thanks,


Andrew
