IHRA F/PS
Performance wise R/SA !
So easy to do!!
Allow my PS to run as a R/SA car.

I still don't get it, I assume you're comparing indexes. Where does your car fall in the NHRA classification guide?

All these classes already exist in some form in NHRA.
Lot of drivers had great luck with them.

NHRA can just merge/adopt them all under A-Z.
Like I said earlier..my car performance wise would fall in R/SA.
Add a few changes and boom you have a more cars competing.

FS somehow gets accepted and cannot be licensed for the street.
How is that fall under Stock? (another topic)
But you have a lot of them running adding to the car count.

Always thought it was sad you could not run a 455 Buick in a 1987 GS.
Until GT class came along yet NHRA does it in SS.
The concept of what the Stock Eliminator is has evolved a lot.

How you can accept the FS cars and not GT, CM, PS is not rational?
It is something else !

I actually don't care that you chose the wrong combination to build...

Get over it....

As they said in the old days...........................

You can either step up, or you can step back...

If it was just full Stock K, L or M...

If NHRA adopted PS would fall under R.
My car fits all the other Stocker requirements.
So that is what I am pressing them for.

Good luck with that but if you're serious about racing NHRA I would be spending some money to find some speed. It doesn't appear that you're that far away from running the index now so I wouldn't think it would take alot.

Another $15000.00

I don't know that it would be that expensive. A cam, headers, aftermarket EFI, and TH-200 would get you close.
