Sean,,, You are totally correct. Everyone can work the books as well as the wrenchs with STK and SS.
That is an important part of the " game" in these classes. Especially knowing the AHFS and the diligence of NHRA factoring. I spent many a year trying to work around 400 Pontiacs with a chevy 283, 400 Chevies with a 305 and after finding GT/AA and a few years more knowledge it was more fun to win with equal equipment. Thats why many enjoy SS/AH because no fear of "book work" class winners only hard work and equal parts.... (and unfortunately big $)
Sorry but no one has answered my question yet, Does anyone else have one yet?
In no way does this mean it is not a great accomplishment.

It would be great to see horsepower on these cars also, not just the cubic in. since they run off horsepower factor. Ron

Ron : The Winner at the Vegas Shoot out and the Winner at Indy Frank Grossi had to put in135 lbs of weight last year last due to the factoring , so he showed up in Indy 135 heavier than in Vegas

Don-

Not that it really matters, but it's 125 lbs. Ron was referring to, I believe, the actual dyno hp numbers of each engine running GT/AA?

One question I have is how is Tom Nolan going to run an LT1 in GT/AA? His minimum weight would be 2495 at 291 hp. Will he have to run it at a minimum of 2670?

Bryan, I believe they are talking about the 70 LT-1. The same combo Kallas, Cour, Bill Kennedy and Kent Hanley.
