DESIGNATIONS
Reserved for 1955 or newer model-year factory- production automobiles and some
sports cars. Classified per NHRA performance rating as listed in the Official NHRA
Stock Car Classification Guide. Only those cars listed in the guide are eligible for
competition. All cars in Stock classes must be factory production assembled, showroom
available, and in the hands of the general public. A minimum 500 units of a particular
body style must be produced.

Those last two sentences might cause a bit of an uproar...

If I had to guess I'd say the cars that are already in the guide are fine, but the ones coming down the pipe are SS cars. Then again, what do I know?

IF they are able to close the barn door now, and will be PROACTIVE in getting the HP factors right, that should fix a lot of the real world problems. Doesn't solve the issue of them not being "showroom available"

Didn't see anything that really affects my project, ,though I am sure others already out there maybe affected. Glad they posted updates early enough that there is time to make any changes before the season begins in 2011.

I still think after Pomona will come a decision on the cj and dp cars. Maybe they think by letting in the 1955 and up cars they will make up the difference of the cars that will drop out.

I may be wrong but I believe that only the paragraphs that have rule changes are listed. The paragraph that mentions 50 special run units stays as is if it is not mentioned. Just my 2 cents.
