NHRA history question - Gas classes

OzzyMike · 06-10-2014, 08:27 AM

My first post here.

I am trying to fill in the gaps of my knowledge of NHRA Competition Eliminator classes and class histories.

Q1. When did the NHRA delete the Gas ( /G) classes from their mainstream racing. 1980s or was it later?

Q2. What Gas classes still exist in a renamed form?
Are the "sedan bodied" Altered cars a direct replacement for the original Gas classes? (A/G now C/A etc.)

Q3. Is the SS/VX (Volkswagen) class in Super Stock Eliminator an equivalent for the old H/G, I/G etc. classes that were basically dominated by hot VW Volkswagens?
