We raised our son and our car almost at the same time but together. We are very proud of what our son has become and how much progress the car has made. Both are family. Chris arrived in 1977 and in 1980 for $600 we purchased the Cuda.
NHRA we built the car to your rules and specs for the last 42 years. It took us over a year to run the 1/8 index. When we started to get close to the 1/4 mile index and just knew it would be an index runner next year, I rented a car that was in the Guide and raced at a points meet to get a grade point. Hell what’s the point |

You would think after a year of research on the shipping weights, they would have figured out how a Non-Ram Air Hood is somehow 282 lbs heavier than the Ram-Air version.

Herbie what a great site for information. Thanks. What I was surprised about that there we not any shipping weights for the L78, L 65, L 34, L79, L72, or ZL1. Stick or auto and with or without aluminum heads in the AMA sheets

I’ve reached out to my SRAC representative, suggest others do likewise. Looks like Michael Beard and all the other graphics providers are going to have a busy spring…I could understand the exodus from Factory Stock by several Mustangs but this is total lunacy.
Bobby has posted on FB about this, hopefully he’ll be able to corral Lonnie and even get a podcast with him scheduled. Think if I was Dwight I’d throw in the towel.

Bill
I did find the letter in my files that was approved years ago. I was not trying to be mean I was just looking to double check the information of the cars that I compete with for a Class win. Win loose or draw we all want to know that everyone is following the same set of rules. Do you have any AMA Specifications that show the shipping weight of those combinations not listed for a 69 Camaro? I just want to double check, we all make mistakes. |

Bad deal for a lot of people, how about the '83 Camaro 305/200/263? It no longer exists! Guys thought they were almost ready for the season, now they get to spend a load of money adding ground effects and weight just to keep racing the same class. Or spend a load of money adding ground effects, keep the weight the same, and jump up a class! Should be fun for anyone racing at SGMP or Belle Rose.
