Nope, I'm good. All of my odd-ball, one off, POS stuff is OK.
I got kicked in the teeth a couple of months ago when they (NHRA) decided to make the Cavalier a 1 class car.

Sure wish we would have waited to enter no- problem. Now we're entered with a combo that no longer exists 1983 Camaro 305 200/263. Getting harder and harder to keep this up.

Any bets this all goes away.

This should have never even started in the first place.Just keep it up and there won’t be any Stock/ SuperStock.

So Kevin, you didn't accomplish what you wanted with the Firebirds,
so you you took one more shot at the 2015 Camaro on the way out??
What are you doing for an encore?

J.R., I simply used the 2015 as an example of the "entire" guide NOT being properly revised...the 2015 376ci Camaro is a factory street version car, not a "paper" car(COPO, Dragpak, CJ), yet it still was not corrected by NHRA.

There are other examples of the same formula, which was started by
Dodge, and approved by NHRA, and I appreciate trying to gets things
straightened out, but these weights have been around for 30, 40, 50
years or more. Now we have NHRA upset that we're upset, some
combo's completely removed, and for what? I will work hard when I
can advance myself, not when I only break even, and all my peers
get hurt.

Clearly a lot to unpack on this issue, but this example and a few others are great examples of how some combos just got lucky depending on how you view it.

I would expect anyone running a Pontiac GTO with a LS would appreciate the weight loss that the Camaro got somehow.

I think now that the shock and awe has hit over this topic there will have to be some process that works and makes sense, even if it is a shipping weight with a plus or minus variance of some sort.

Clearly ,there were decades of deals made here rather than a process that could be understood by all.

Hopefully some good comes out of this transparency. So many say and I agree that one of the key responsibilities of a sanctioning body is to apply rules in a clear and consistent manner.

At least this is an attempt to apply process.
