(170 lbs driver weight is added to shipping weight to determine minimum racing weight. It doesn't matter how much you weigh.) You are then allowed to do certain modifications depending on your category. Stock can do so much, Super Stock even more. You then must be able to run on or below the ET index for your class. The problem is that you would probably not be able to run your index without building your car to the limit of the rules. (acceptable cam and valvetrain, blueprinting, gear ratio etc.). If they run a bracket program with the IHRA race, you'd be far better off there.

Dang, Sounds complicating. = { I thought in the stock class you could not change your cam and other things. = \
