Re: S-10 Chevy in SS GT weight math
Hans,
a 2000 Chevy S-10 with base 4 cylinder shows 2930 pounds on the NHRA guide. Please help with this, I do have conflicting feedback about the as raced weight for the SS GT truck classes. Also, please check the SS GT rule book in ref to a 250 pound weight removal allowed for trucks with automatic trans. To me, the rule reads, "trucks with auto trans are allow to run 250 lighter than class weight"

Re: S-10 Chevy in SS GT weight math
GT trucks with automatics get both - 250 lbs to adjust up or down plus can run up to
250 lbs (OR 5% whichever is less ) light for having an automatic.

Re: S-10 Chevy in SS GT weight math
Shipping weight must be with the heaviest engine and trans for that year and model.

Re: S-10 Chevy in SS GT weight math
Le, Thanks, your math seems correct to me. I over looked the 5% and that is important because it makes about 100 pounds difference. [heavier] than my math.
I "think" it will require some ballast to put the S-10 at 3100 race pounds but with the truck chassis the weight placement most likely will be a traction advantage. Besides, we have a "heavy" driver
