I dont think so..there's gonna be a new rule before that happens...going something like: Cars can always stay in stock if they were classed 7.5 or higher when they entered the class...but more likley they will just add 7.0..these new stockers are gonna make SS look silly..thats for sure..

We guys with the older "higher up" cars that dont want or can afford to build something new have to start finding a new venue fast ..these Cars are here to stay..and gonna change the face of Stock and SS forever..and ultimatley kill it i think..in Phoenix half of the field were upper class cars..that means alot of heads up..if there are a total of 8-10 of these new cars at the races..do you really think there will be 40-50 of the old one's there at the same time within a couple of years? probably less than half is my prediction..that means a decline in participants..not good for the class..The fix is FX at 7.0 and put the right factor on them...fast..

p.s That FX-class should be a class in SS not Stock in my opinion..but i can buy that the new cars gets to "shine" in Stock..

Mike,

Yes the Camaro left a couple months ago and my new car should be out very soon. Thanks for the nice comments about the Camaro.

I need to renew my stuff with IHRA to recieve their new rule book. Are the injected cars and carbureted cars still separated at IHRA events?

Thanks.

Bruce,

Yes, stock(which includes CM),FI, Stock truck(like my dakota),stock Gt and pure stock for those who want to play for the least dough....some drive it to the track....but you do have to have the original cam, heater box, no lightweight brakes, have to run mufflers if you run headers, smaller tires..etc.

Here is the link to the rulebook.

Good luck with your new ride. If you have it ready in time you would likely enjoy the D-1 proam and Sportsman National at Richmond at the end of May likely pretty close to you.

In pure stock cams that check on OEM duration, over lap, and lift like the pre 1985 stocker cams are legal (if they have someone who knows how to check one...lol). Valve spring pressures must be OEM also (if they have a spring checker).
