Access to AMA Shipping Weights?

Aaaannnd...back to normal.

NHRA Tech Department makes corrections to the Stock Car Classification Guide
Feb. 10, 2022



After inadvertent changes to the class guide the NHRA Technical Department has postponed these updates. 2021 shipping weights will be used for the 2022 racing season. If you have any question or concerns with the current class guide please contact Pat Cvengros at pcvengros@nhra.com .

Just to be fair.
In 1963 Chrysler provided aluminum front ends for the dealers to install on Plymouths and Dodges as they were not equipped with such from the factory.
In 1964 they were installed on the assembly line.

In less than 24 hours the thread has had over thousands of views, which lets me believe that the Stock/SS family is alive and well. It’s good for our sport.

They never made any body in white “race only” Camaros, so they, along with all of the street trim cars, came with ls1 engines.

I stand corrected. I wonder what the ratio of Firebirds to Camaro body in white cars sold is. It seems like the Firebirds were a more popular purchase.

Doug, not sure, but I wonder if since at that time, Pontiac was the "official car of NHRA", if maybe Pontiac offered a higher manufacturer contingency payout ?

2019 Challenger 1320 #3399 8.23 a nice natural A car that can make AA/A/B

2017 Challenger Hellcat #4500 7.50 natural AA car that can make A

Same car, #1100 difference between the two? It couldn't just be that Mopar was picking-and-choosing classes could it?

Larry, maybe you could ask your Mopar buddys about this (and your hood) and I'll find out about that .525 FFFFord cam.

not the same cars at all.hellcat is a 6.2s/c car. 1320 is a 6.4n/a car.
