We need a new "instant" trigger!

Yeah John, now is the time.......but shouldn't these DP and CJ's be put in their own class? I think F/X makes sense because they are NOT readily available for sale to the general public. That alone should keep them from being classified as a "stocker"! They should run the eliminator but be classed A/FX-B/FX-C/FX-D/FX, etc. I think the factories getting involved is, over-all, a good thing. I'm going to go to bed now and hope I don't have nightmares about a 2011 supercharged Q stocker that can go 11.90's!!!!!!!!

Billy: If this sounds way crazy it is because early morning. If a car is capable of running 1.2+ under why not automatically reclassify to closest up a class say .5 under. Take a G/sa that can run 10.6 put it into a class where 11.0 is index. Better show more side by side racing and room to improve performance. Combo must pass teardown, also how about a red light exemption for drivers over 60.

Too many cars would run out of room in stock unless you made higher classes.

Then they just need to go into S/S. Thats where these abortions belong in the first place.

I wasn't talking about the new cars, which do need to go to another class, I was talking about all of the other current A and AA cars, which at .5 under would need faster classes.

Well do these fast AA and A cars REALLY need to be running that fast on a 9 inch tire?? I remember when the low 11's was a scary ride on 7 inch tires.

There's CJ's in super stock running 8.80's on 9 inch tires now (ask Charlie Downing). I'm starting to like the AA/FX through G/FX idea more all the time.
