Bill,
I'm sure the CJ's are allowed in Stock but are they running in injected calsses?

Bruce.....The FI classes only go up to 8.0 lbs per HP. I would imagine the new Mustangs will be restricted to A/FI at that weight break (8.0) until such time IHRA combines the carb and FI cars together in the future?. Thus you wont have to run the new Mustangs heads up unless the "powers that be" decide to allow them to run in AA for some strange reason? The carb class goes up to 7.00. for AA (a 1 lb class) instead of 7.5 like NHRA. Then 8.0 for A on down like NHRA. That was one of the initial reasons (Higher HP cars) to allow 10 inch tires and the fact that years ago the divisional tracks lacked good prep.

Bruce, I don't know too much about the modern style, centrifugal superchargers (if that's what these cars have). When NHRA still had Carb and FI classes, some turbocharged cars ran regular Stock, some ran FI, depending on what went with the turbo. Bob Shaw's 140 cid turbo Capri ran V/SA, Mark Walton's 140 turbo Mustang ran I/FI. I must have missed, if it was posted, what the engine specs were with the new Mustangs in regards to induction (besides the blower).
