New Classes in Stock AAA/SA, AAA/S and FS/AAA

[Alan Roehrich]

Well, AAA is the 7.0# class we were asking for 14 years ago when we got AA. The reason was that there are several engines rated at over 440HP, which even a 7.5 end up well above their curb weight.


No idea why NHRA chose to do it now.

What combos can run AAA?

'65 Race Hemi
'64 T-Bolt
'69 ZL1
...and?

Wonder too if the guys already running in AA can even get 200+ lbs out.

Selfishly, I hope this is the time when NHRA will add the '68 Dart/Cuda to Stock @ the 450 hp rating the '64/'65's got!

Now I have a reason to put the aluminum nose on my '64 race hemi car.

Does any know the index for AAA/SA?

[Bobby Fazio]

Weren't these Super Stock Only combos when they came out?

It didn’t matter when the conventional stock asked for it. Factory race cars have more pull I’m guessing?

Merry Christmas Folks.

The story is long…cars being classed out and moved to super stock…then Don Fezzell @ Virginia…the Alphabet classes… the ZL1 and last years aborted re-alignment…one hit from being classed out. Then a trial balloon about cages/chassises.

Bottom line Stock is in a good spot now…you can never go home…but we do have some say in the enhancements.

Okay so now we have AAA, where do we go from here AAAA? There's not going to be enough room on the windows for all those letters. LOL
Why not have A at the top and move the rest down? (I don't think a few decals hurt the racing budget.)
I'm all for any car meeting the requirements of stock eliminator having a place to race. I'm sure most lower-class combo's get extra pleasure from defeating a faster car.

Does ayone know just how much pull the factory has as far as financial to anyone including NHRA I suspect the amount of money if in fact there is some money being exchanged is not even close to what the racers pay ,just aother thought to ponder during the off season lol

[Billy Nees]

so when are the "Little Guys" going to get a FWD class or two?
