Why not put them in both stock and superstock as they are.

Good point when was the last time you seen a SS/B car run 8.60 lol
1 5251 SS/B Todd Patterson, Augusta KS, '10 Mustang 8.675 9.90 -1.225
2 243 SS/BA Roy Hill, Sophia NC, '10 Mustang 8.775 9.90 -1.125

Uh thats 1.55 under the old index

Who won class in SS/B this year? And I think about six years ago David Barton with his Dart had the SS/BA Record at some where around 8.80.

Do any if you really think NHRA is going to put these cars in a FX class come on. Nothing is going to change you can all bitch on this form about how its not far all you want. But it will not change one thing.

only because he broke/spun/rolled out of the beams, not because there was someone faster. Open your eyes

I'am just looking at the facts. Who won SS/AA this year?

How come no one is bitching about the PT? hell he went almost -2.00.

How many DP'sand CJ's went more then three rounds at INDY this year?

Well...the PT meets all of the requirements of a street registered stocker. And it runs in a class that the cars are all quite similar. Head's up are generally not out of whack and eliminations are a dial in matter from there. Not sure that the PT helps your case.

You might want to be more specific with your DP/CJ example. How many of them went deep into class eliminations and/or how many of them beat a legit stocker in eliminations. Irvin Johns did a fantastic job of driving in super stock, but did you see his lights in stock? He had several horrible lights and won!

He's not affecting the older cars! Ray Charles could have seen that one

So what you are saying is only under factored combos in A-F matter.

IHRA's SS/B and SS/BA index is 10.20 ! That puts Todd Patterson at 1.525 under and Roy at 1.425 under. Kind of makes those neat old 64 & 65 Hemi cars a pile of expensive junk dosen't it ! Can you say "Nostalgia Racing" is in thier future. If Im not mistaken Roy was quicker than Armstrongs Corvette was in SS/AA and on smaller tires? Those things belong in SS/A !

Everyone seems to forget somewhere back in the day in order to run stock the factory had to produce 500 units show room available to the public. Less than that was super stock. At that time super stock was king. Maybe we should go back to what works. Just my 2c.
