Could Top Stock Come Back?

What’s the weight break for Jr Stock? Would be cool to have a heads up class for the high hp small block cars.

US Class Nationals
21 Top Stock paired for first round
Matt Morgan #1051 Low ET 10.370
Paul Mercure #2503 Top speed 127.41

134 Stockers paired for first round
103 Super Stockers paired for first round

Nitro Joe did the qualifying sheets and I had help doing the pairings in the lanes.
I grabbed some of the sheets that we had laying around after the race and kept them for posterity
If any one is interested I can post the round pairings I have.
It is not a full set.
I will have to get to my shop computer to post the pairings by rounds.
I'm not familiar with this new computer format at my home..

In division one I've tried to get Jr stock going. First at 11lbs/hp and then at 11.5 lbs/hp.

This all sounds like a good time and a great idea. But unlike 20 years ago or so, not sure exactly how long ago Top Stock was thriving, drivers and engine builders have a handle on fuel injection. The LS camaros and corvettes will win every single event thats entered by a lot. If a 396/375 chevy or a big block mopar engine wins, you can bet it is basically a super stock motor. IHRA allowed the crate motors in Top Stock which NHRA would never do. And those were solid Top Stock combos. It would be cool to see these heads up, big wheelie races. Factory stock showdown can't even draw a crowd, not sure NHRA really cares about this.
