Is this allowed NHRA Stock????
 

I am working on a new car for Stock, and was wandering if I can take my 90 Mustang 2.3 auto daily driver and enter the first, or maybe the first two divisional races to get my grade points,and entry points? My new car should be ready sometime in April, but hate to miss the start of the season since the races are close to home. i really dont think the daily driver can run the index, actually doubt it will be within 2 seconds of the index, but still, thinking it would at least be fun.

Interesting.
I would think if the car meets the requirements for your class in Stock, and your dial in on the first round of the race is the class index , I couldn't see why it would not work.

Just make sure it has all the required mods ( i.e. driveshaft loop, helmet, etc.)

copy-n-paste from the rulebook:

DRIVELINE

Aluminum driveshaft prohibited except OEM. Carbon fiber

driveshaft prohibited. Driveline loop mandatory in all rear-wheeldrive

cars. See General Regulations 2:4.

Just be sure to meet all the safety regs.

i believe that if the car is still in 100% street legal form, as in catalitic converters still being used, where you have to use unleaded fuel, i do not think any unleaded fuel will pass fuel check, not sure if you have to pass tech or actually make a legitimate qualifying run to earn any points, Dave Ley a little help here thanks

This depends on what division and who's the director at the time.
Some you have to qualify and get on the ladder..
Some you just pay the tab.
You'd think it would be a uniform procedure, but it may still not be..
First hand experience...

You only need one grade point to enter just about any National Event (exceptions would be limited to D1 and possibly Norwalk or Chicago) so are you just trying to get a grade point for the Gators?

C-9 unlead will pass. We use it in Penny's car.

In Div 2 in the past. You just have to get thru tech. I did it a few years ago with my PT Cruiser. Failed fuel check but got the grade point.
Call the division office and see if that has changed.

I think this would be the case. I imagine they would
be glad to accept and keep your money.....in exchange
for a grade point.

Several years back I forget who, but someone only needed to show up at Pomona to win the championship and did so with some sub-compact rental front wheel drive in stock. and it seems it didn't do badly qualifying either with a soft index for the little four banger.
