Re: Big silly rookie question
Yes, according to ...somebody.
Polhill tried to run his FWD Escort in W/Stock a few years ago, and was told NO. Of course, that may depend on who you ask.

Re: Big silly rookie question
Chris, yes they do. A few years ago, Steve Polhill, took his Escort that ran EF/S, and tried to run W/S (almost the same weight break). After one or two runs, they told him he had to run a FWD class. I believe he was even quick enough to get the W record that weekend (October Indy Nat'l Open). Steve can fill you in more on this, in case my memory is incorrect.

Which would mean only FWD can run in it but are not limited to it. I guess I spent way too much time in my life reading legal docs.....any lawyers wanna chime in on this ? I do believe you, Im just confused, seems like that needs EXPLICITY stated in the rules, not just assumed by both NHRA and the Competitors. Other classes, SS, SS/GT etc make explicit explanation of what is allowed in what and required etc. Why not stock ? Simple wording I would say. Interesting, I just talked to Bachelder about something else and he confirmed that they MUST run in the F classes.......... Guess it was an accident to let me run across in Q/SA (mine too  Lol....oh well live and learn, thanks all......

Re: Big silly rookie question
Charles Blossom had a turbo GMC Cyclone V6 (I believe that's what it was), that ran in AT/SA (when NHRA still had seperate Truck classes). Rulebook states "all AWD vehicles must have treaded front tires".
