Is this a mistake?

Why?

But the factory race cars need to be in their own division of Super Stock, or Comp.

Alan,
Do these Stock Eliminator cars race at the real street car weight or has Chrysler provided NHRA a fictitious much lighter weight?
Do they run factory suspensions or do they have 4 links like the DragPak cars?

My car enthusiast friends do wonder why the DragPaks, Cobra Jets, and COPO's are not in Super Stock as they were never street legal cars and feel the new cars should be in the Factory Stock class (or another name) because the differences between racing a 1969 car and a 2017 are immense.

Run the class off national records will solve all this...no more "soft" HP, no more playing with the gas and hitting the brakes to "protect" the "soft" index

Once someone runs it out the back door the rest will follow....My question is...are we RACING here or playing games?

Bill, your last statement sums it up. This is not racing. However in the process of clarity, the Challengers have the same front end. Any car with an IRS is allowed a straight axle and the attachment points are specified by NHRA. All the Vettes have them, the Dodges and 04 ish GTO's; with the LS!, all come to mind and there are more. If it was all Chevrolet cars, there would be no problem. Kevin is going into the seimi's today in Houston in two of them. Wait till the Hellcat (actually in process now) and the Demon (planned) get here.

Is this the pink car with the 392 in it?

[dartman]

I was told by a d1 tech that no drag pak car could race in conventional stock with a conventional stock motor because of the front suspension is not the same as the cars coming off the production line .

It would be great if they listed all combos from 55-60 and not just chevy.

This not a Dragpak it is a showroom Challenger.
