Default AMX in SS/A

14. 3002 SS/A A.H. Adkins, Ravenswood WV, '69 AMX 8.710 9.65 -0.940

While looking at the final SS qualifying order posted on DRC from the D2 points meet at Rockingham I noticed something very odd. How does a '69 AMX that is a natural SS/C car get to move up two classes to SS/A?

That combo received 10 horsepower on July 3rd. Mysteriously the combo received another 3 horsepower on July 24th . That 3 put it in SS/A....Go figure....

The horsepower change was on the replacement head. The way it was explained to me was that any horsepower change on a replacement head would add weight as a penalty but not change the class factor. Class factor number is based on OEM head and only changed when OEM head gets horsepower.

Found the rule in Section 11A, page 2 of the 2018 NHRA rulebook. It is stated in the first paragraph on that page.

So Mr. 2, is the AMX in the wrong class, similar to Jimmy Bridges being in the wrong class for a few seasons ? ..Disclaimer.... Jimmy and Debbie are close friends of mine....

According to Classracerinfo (one of my favorite sites BTW), it is a SSB/C/D car.

This is nuts !! With all the anarchy , pandering to special interest and chaos in class racing ! Who cares !! This is a real SS car !!! not a prodigy of reading the classification guide for 6 months. Its not like he's playing the system to run SS/EA !!! Give the man a break !! Go take your (100%) legal car and run a class higher !!! Im sure all you guys are 100% by the book !!!
