A new idea for the Super Stock GT Class

[Don Kennedy]

Ok here goes

I have purposed to NHRA that in the Super Stock GT classes a new Option .

Allow any Foreign Body Such as Toyota, Nissan etc be allowed to run in The GT class with any Motor Combination .

All the rules are still the same .

Then I guess I could put a SBC combo into the new Mustang? Sweet, now the the transformation into a bracket class will be complete. BTW Don, you were just kidding?

[Bryan Worner]

I disagree Don! They shouldn't allow foreign cars in Super Stock.......period!

[herbjr]

I disagree with the swapping motors but have you ever seen how these import guys drive. let them run.

How's about a BBC in an old Amphicar?Or one of the retro Citreon C2V tin boxes?Or a small block in a Messershmitt 3 wheeler?Or how about this, an all alum. 500" Indy block and Indy head AMC in Jack's GTO. Nah,waste of a good engine combo.

Since the GT cars have shipping weight as a function of classification, you'd have to have the shipping weight of all the foreign cars involved.

Getting the shipping weight on q 1976 Datsun 260Z might be a problem...... or the shipping weights of any and all of the foreign cars that could participate.

NHRA is not the most pro-active information gatherer out there, as you may have noticed.

Other than that, I can't see what difference it would make as to the country of origin as long as it has an American engine.

You've been in the sun too long!!! You already have that option Super Street, Super Gar or Super Comp

I'll add my change. Keep the motor/body from same corporation but drop the V8 requirement. Hmmm Mustang turbo motor in a 2000 lb Pinto. I'd go for that.

Or an SRT4 motor in a RWD Neon
