Is there a lower threshold for stock eliminator though? Everyone is assuming that it is 7.00 based on half pound increments between classes and AA being 7.50.

Did this go away when the AA/BB/CC classes were used in the interim roughly 10 years ago, when new weight classes were introduced. I have always heard of a car getting "outfactored" from stock eliminator but never seen it.

BUT where is it written that there is a lower threshold to still be able to run stock?

If there is no lower threshold, then any combo with a class factor lower than 7.50 would be restricted to AA only, and adhering to the 7.50 weight calculation factor.

Austin in the rule book in the lower classes of V and W it's XX.00 or more.
No statement for the top class XX.00 or less.

Might be able to make engine 427/425.

If we have to go by the AMA Sheets, what choice do we have; its their, NHRA, Ball, Bat, and Glove

Speaking of the 1969, 427/425 combo.....it is now a natural AA car, therefore it can no longer run B. Class factor changed from 8.02 to 7.86.

The more interesting one to me...someone do the math on the 1969, 396/375 alum head combo. Previously the class factor was 8.16, a natural A car, and the new factor says 8.00......HOWEVER.....

New shipping weight 3238 divided by 405 hp is 7.99506....

So what is the natural class for a 396/375 alum head, is it AA or A? Do you round it up or not?

As the Stocker world turns....

No question 7.99999999 is not 8.0

As the cookies crumble. ............ and so it goes

The 1969 Camaro 396/375 Alum combo is a natural A. NHRA rounds up at .xx5, and down at .xx4. One pound less and this combo would be a Natural AA.

Your guesses are as good as mine
