You are correct but in the beginning the production S/S'ers (Formula stock) and regular super stocks were 2 seperate eliminators. This was around 71 when I first started with IHRA. SS/P1 could be 3X2's, 2 4's, or factory FI and formula SS was the correct name for the classes. The name of the class and what number depending on the carbs has been scrambled around several times since 71.

Thats cool. I just read where Grumpy had $8000 in his 1968 Pro stocker in 1970 and won almost $30,000 with it in 3 weeks. Those days are HISTORY. Tell your dad hello for me if you will.....Thanks.
