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.

Tom not sure what your getting at here. The pink car has the rear end that was approved by NHRA. I believe it's been stated that all IRS cars were allowed a straight axle.

I guess I have a lot to learn here because I don't understand where the misunderstanding is. It's a factory car available to anyone that has a straight axle swapped into it just like any other IRS car running stock.

But I don't think you answered Tom's question, so I'll ask my own. Do your Stockers have an 8 and 3/4 or a Dana center section?

Guys why are y'all beating a dead horse? I believe we all have copies of the rule books. If y'all minds are that needing to know look it up! Look up what rear ends are legal for showroom production cars. Y'all both know the answer to yalls question. I agree that the new cars need their own classes but if NHRA is allowing them to run in stock eliminator and we happen to have cars that fit then why not run them? This goes back to find what combo you want to run and run it. Y'all crack me up with this rear end thing when there are soooo many other issues that need to be addressed. And like Mr. Larry said our car was out ran by an older combination so maybe get off the key boards and get to work. David has already beat Goliath
