That car is more stock than most "stockers" today! Anybody who would complain about that awesome car lining up next to him, is in the wrong sport! How cool!!

I have often wondered about those stk super/stk combo races. I guess they don't have them around here. Is it basically just a name? Are there class run offs inspections,etc? Or just a bracket race?

Up here in the Northwest, a Stock/Super Stock Combo is a bracket race restricted to NHRA classified Stock and Super Stock cars. Kinda like a muscle car party. Jim Storms and James Boyce have organized a combo series for several years, mostly run at Pacific Raceways. Jody Lang, Brad Burton, Brian Seaburg, Tommy Gaynor...pushovers like that. Great fun.

No funny cars allowed...

The combos are run very well. No scales, no heads up and must run under the index. Some of the guys and gals use the combos for more seat time and a test and tune session. The winners have been a mix of Stock or Super Stock cars and trucks.
I am usually in charge of the ladder and help collect money, if needed. All the cars/ trucks run pretty much where they usually do, so no funny business by anyone. They are meant to be fun and everyone seems to have a great time.

A/FX is a legal class within Nostalgia/SS. Much the same way GT/AA, A/SA, SS/AS, FS/C etc etc are legal classes within S/SS. Nost/SS cars are welcome to run with our series/races. Much like traditional S/SS cars.

Bottom line: that A/FX car was as legit and legal to compete in the race as the other sixty-some cars on the property on Sunday.

When you look in the dictionary under snobby NHRA class racers you know who you will find. Talking about the pot calling the kettle black. You're right they did go too far when they allowed factory race cars in stock/ superstock.

Just curious, how did you come up with an index for the A/FX car?
