There is nothing at all complicated about cars that were never production street cars having an "FX" added to their class designation to separate them from cars that were production street cars. It is the most simple, effective, and efficient solution, requiring the least amount of work, and the fewest changes. That's a fact, plain and simple.
It may not be what NHRA wants to hear, it may not be what NHRA and the OE manufacturers want to see done. That does not change the fact that reclassifying the factory race cars that were never legal for the street is the most simple, least expensive, most efficient, and most effective way to resolve the problem. It harms absolutely no one.

Ed, Luke is a very nice guy. That car of his has a 5.7 Hemi that before Indy was rated at 305hp. The automatic is rated at 421. Keith Lynch could of gone 9.80 in A/SA with one. Luke won't be hurt a bit.

Well, I started with a simple yes/no and expected comments before I moved on to something else constructive. But I apparently started with Genesis 1:1 "Let there be Light" and we have now moved to complete explanation of the total meaning according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. I never knew we had so many Theology Students here. We flew right through the Old Testament and so far haven't begat anything. Sorry I have no Jewish, Arabian, Heathen, or Atheist sayings. I will work on that. But I have never been politically correct. Why don't somebody start a poll? Yes/No. No drama instead of Know Drama. I would but that is over my grade level.

11 pages of discussion about Indy and the fact remains that the number 1 qualifier was almost one second further under the index than ANYONE else in a 1986 Chevy Pick Up Truck.You have to love Stock Eliminator.

If the auto version is already rated at 421, how does the 6.4 (added to the guide 8-19) get rated at 380? (probably going to run 9.80 at C/SA)

Mike, it is dead stock, plastic intake & all, and 400 heavier than all DP's, 500 than some, other than the V10 DP. Body also dead stock. NHRA asked for showroom models, and the specs were provided. That car can be bought, vin number, title, license, off the showroom. All three showroom models are in the book, all dead stock. They are waiting for Ford & Chevy for the same.
