Here is the link to the rulebook.

In pure stock cams that check on OEM duration, over lap, and lift like the pre 1985 stocker cams are legal (if they have someone who knows how to check one...lol). Valve spring pressures must be OEM also (if they have a spring checker).

The T-bolt is in the classification guide as legal for Stock eliminator. It is listed with a factor of 7.63 which makes it a natural AA car; ironically the CJ factor is 7.62. I have never seen one in Stock, but they certainly are legal for Stock eliminator.

Bill,
I'm sure the CJ's are allowed in Stock but are they running in injected calsses?

Bruce.....The FI classes only go up to 8.0 lbs per HP. I would imagine the new Mustangs will be restricted to A/FI at that weight break (8.0) until such time IHRA combines the carb and FI cars together in the future?. Thus you wont have to run the new Mustangs heads up unless the "powers that be" decide to allow them to run in AA for some strange reason? The carb class goes up to 7.00. for AA (a 1 lb class) instead of 7.5 like NHRA. Then 8.0 for A on down like NHRA. That was one of the initial reasons (Higher HP cars) to allow 10 inch tires and the fact that years ago the divisional tracks lacked good prep.

Bruce, I don't know too much about the modern style, centrifugal superchargers (if that's what these cars have). When NHRA still had Carb and FI classes, some turbocharged cars ran regular Stock, some ran FI, depending on what went with the turbo. Bob Shaw's 140 cid turbo Capri ran V/SA, Mark Walton's 140 turbo Mustang ran I/FI. I must have missed, if it was posted, what the engine specs were with the new Mustangs in regards to induction (besides the blower).

What the hell makes the difference, it's all just bracket racing with the correct carb(throttle body). The genie flew out of the bottle a long time ago.

Is it still bracket racing when you're running the same class as that blown rocket and you see him in the other lane (HEADS-UP-NO HANDICAP???)
