I think the 245 hp is better then the injection 250 hp. I have a friend with a 57 bel air body, like my car from the sixties, but not the 25,000 or so dollars to build it.

Re: 2011 Stock/Super Stock Rule Changes

Does this mean it is a good time to dig my ole 57 chevy injection unit and the matched set of heads out of the garage, and advertise as "stocker builder up material"? Or better yet, does this mean that it is time to start searching the yards for a wrecked Impala SS car for stock. Seems like possibly a 303 hp LS4 v8 front wheel drive might work now as a stocker? AAFS?

Maybe the AA/FS could be another way of saying the Blossom Rule?

Nhra should allow Mechanical to Electronic Fuel Injection Conversions too....
that would wake these old cars up, and "IT's STOCK", sorta!!

Or Maybe, after 55 years, someone will discover or uncover some long lost, overlooked, under utilized superseded parts, factory memo and / or specs that would make these old bricks super competitive.... stranger things have happened, right?

WEIGHT
All cars will be permitted to run on the class minimum weight, but may be no heavier
than the minimum for the next heavier class. Car can move up (lighter) one class or
down (heavier) one class. If weight is added, must be properly attached; see BALLAST.
Class and classification weight are determined without driver weight. Once classification
weight is calculated, 170 pounds is added for driver to arrive at total weight. All cars are
weighed with driver.

HOLY COW! They actually did this?! I've been running that one up the flagpole for two years now! Good, common sense rule. -=applause!=- Thank you, NHRA!

Re: AAF/S.... uh, why don't they create some realistic weight breaks for the FWD classes instead of tacking onto the top? It's not like there are no letters in the alphabet past "E". :rolleyes: While the "big cars" fight full-pound weight breaks because they'd have to "carry so much weight", what about the weight difference between DF/S and EF/S... 2,241 vs 2,895. 650LBS? SERIOUSLY?!
