Automatic 11lb SS cars with all the restrictions go high nines. My wife could make a 9lb SM car go 10 flat. LOL

Ya but Ed, you may be smarter then I. I ran a 10.5 lb. spec car for 2 years, and went 6.29 in the 1\8th at 109.67. At 10 lbs. with a 291 iron head bowtie, that we ran in SS/CS at 10.5 lbs. we went 6.06 at 114.96 at the same track.That's all I have to go on. Most, not all, but most SS\BS cars run 9.0's, to 8.80's. I think the heads, with a 3,000 # min. at 9#, will be in the 9.40's to start. Just a guess. It ain't hard to reduce the index. It only takes an ink pen. Big difference berween a spec head, and a 15 degree chevy. Also, 10 flat is just the index. If they're like the other super stockers, and run 1.5 under, they'll be running 8.50's.

this has been tried so many times before and came up goose eggs, but have fun posting all winter as it will never happen, trust me.

Joe, you're right. It's been tried to death. But NEVER with a cylinder head totally equal for all manufactures. But, I agree they will never try it. It makes way too much sense. Who would even dare to think a racing organization would ever want to actually race? If we're lucky, the roundy- rounders will have to start dialing in their lap times to make it fair. Crowd should love it. But it's still fun to discuss. Either way, I'm either retired, or I''l have a nice street car if nothing comes of it.

I'm with Joe, it ain't really gonna happen. Would be fun, but so would be taking a shower with Pam Anderson. LOL

I agree with most of what you post Ed, (except for the Pamela Anderson thing, I think I could come up with a better fantasy) that being said, what pray tell, is so hard to understand about a racing body, that truly does not race, other then the pros, and comp, and why they will never truly race. With the computer tech we have today to control illegal mods to heads, why is it so far fetched to think they would not want to try it? I agree they won't try it, but why?

[Ed Wright]

Hey, if you were old you would like Pam Anderson! LOL

Economics is the reason.

Randy, I'll put my 1 and 1/2 cents in here, from experience.

Get a few cars built and ask for a class in Super stock, and you may get it...They did it for the VWs recently.
If you are wanting a new eliminator category, forget it, until you see maybe 30-40 cars in class runoffs. Don't bother asking until then.
You might be able to some LODRS tracks to give you a Saturday night showcase , as long as you take the full hit at the gate...
