For 2008 and newer or carburetor cars?

[Jeff Teuton]

What I mean is 6, 6.5, and 7 for regular stock classes same as the F/S numbers which I think are those numbers. Takes them and others coming right out of existing classes.
We have a damaged Hellcat thatwould be fine in stock eliminator.Does not affect anything at all.

How much energy is in a 4,800 hundred pound car moving at nearly 130 MPH?

Just a few questions - Is this the "Hellcat", and if so what happened to the other 107 "advertised horsepower" that we've been reading about? Is this a "red-key" vs. "black-key" thing, and if so, how will it be policed?

Not trying to start a heated discussion here, just wondered how they came up with this combination that will run as a "regular" stocker.

Great point Lew! Any class should never get to go below advertised HP. Pretty obvious its happening in a bunch of classes.. Looking for power on paper rather than the old fashioned way.
