I was at the first Top Stock race contested @ IHRA Norwalk Raceway. Very entertaining to watch. A, B and C cars all raced at B weight. IMO, later on the Manufactures got involved and soon they wrecked the class.

Re: Top Stock is back
I loved Top Stock when it was run at the Dutch several years ago. However, the Dutch always has a very aggressive schedule that will now include an additional category with Top Stock. For me, class eliminations in Stock and/or Super Stock are the highlight of any event that I attend. At this year's Dutch, class was cancelled due to the likelihood of rain on Sunday morning. With Top Stock now added to the schedule; a similar situation becomes even more likely. I know that the Index classes are part of Maple Grove's program; but to make the schedule more manageable, I feel that they should be dropped from the Dutch.

The IHRA Top Stock program was an incredibly entertaining endeavor.
While the technical structure of the competition was less formal and rigid, the performance, competition and the drama were highlighted. It was an outstanding show. |

Does it have to be an A, B, or C car or can it be anyone who can get to 8.25 per factored HP?

Re: Top Stock is back
What were the rule differences to Top Stock back in the day? I looked back at some results from 2004 era and they were hauling!

Re: Top Stock is back
Just for conversation, some of the items are if a combo had a "weak spot", it might get addressed such as the rockers on the Chevies were prone to break or stick through the rocker so we all got rollers; as it progressed ported heads were allowed under the assumption we all had acid ported heads anyway (true I'm sure), then some combos were allowed different heads configured as produced by mostly Edlebrock but some factory, we started with a 360 Crate combo with a 750 Holley stock, then an 850 Holley, then an aftermarket 850, and some other items for some certain combo. At the end under these rules we legally (and the only one probably legal) ran 9.51 @ 138 mph. About 2900 lbs 70 Ply Duster. I think the bad guys at the end had breath treatments. I would do it again in a minute. .

Their Stock was just the slow street cars. What they called Top Stock was run off the track records. Run quicker than the track record for your class & breakout. I lowered my D/S track record several times & won quite a few races there. Began in '73, pulling the car to the races with a 4-door Caddy & a tow bar. Hey, you gotta start somewhere. :) |
Re: Top Stock is back

Re: Top Stock is back
I can't remember, is it a straight 8.25 or plus 170#?

Re: Top Stock is back
The "new" cars - Copo's, Cobra Jet's, and Drag Pak's, in traditional A and B stocker trim, should be bad to the bone !!

That would eliminate them from Top Stock because they cannot run A, B, or C/S. That is unless someone screws up and lets them into Top Stock. |
