I know there are some sharp racers out there that just with a carb change they can move from traditional SS to GT.

That's more what I was referring too. I don't know the differences between Dayrl's 1970 and a 71/72, but was thinking someone claiming it as a 70 Body with a 71 low compression engine and you have a GT yet it could also be run as a real SS by just claiming it is a '71. Guess it wouldn't work with early 67/68 Camaro's because of the vent window and 69's being a one off body style. Thanks for the information.

Bobby,
One would think that's how it's supposed to work but not anymore.
66 Chevy II's running SS/J or SS/K or GT/M
Can't claim a 67 ..No 4 bbl 283's... 65? Different body.
Nobody cares much anymore ..Least of all NHRA tech.
Get your 8 gp's..Get in line..Fight to get in Indy...That's it folks...Slippin' away.

I heard Lonnie Grim say that they could not get the correct paper for the rule book this year and the paper is thicker. The number of pages is the same or less, I don't remember that part.

Nicely done. I can't recall ever seeing a Vegas in Super Stock.

Now how about a 5.0 Coyote Pinto?

I believe in stock for a number of years.
Approved is the question.
