I believe the Boss 429 Hemi Ford has 145 seat pressure but Ive never heard of one running in Pure stock after all these years. Something to think about but Im not involved anymore. You might not get a hold of Mike Baker unless its today until after the New Year so there is time to consider all options.
P.S. I just noticed the 1963 Max Wedge Dodge and Plymouth has 142 lbs on the seat for a factory spec. so 130 Lbs max might affect or might not affect some of these cars if anyone is running one. I think Phil Baldiccno (sp?) is still running his 1963 Max Wedge in A/PS?

OK how about this?
IF Original Stock Rating =>135lb
THAN 170lb
ELSE 130lb.

Suggestion for Pure Stock:
Add AA and AAA/PS classes to bring in some of the new cars.

Roll Bars:
Instead of a Welded-In 6 Link Roll Bar for the over 11.50 ET Rule.
Allow the new 4 Link / 6 Link Bolt-In Roll Bars.
Allow Stock Seatbelts, No Airbag Delete.
The Late model cars are well constructed for Crash Protection.
Products are already available for the Road Race Community.
Brings in a new Manufacturer. Maybe new Contingency Money.

Figure a 3 tenths average with this change.
IHRA will have to recalculate the Indexes.

Again this new Spring Rule if adopted may have a benefit and bring in a few parked Stockers hiding in Garages.
