It's a mess

One thing I never cared for in IHRA is the alphabet soup classes: what the heck is that?

Besides racing, I enjoy following SS, and I've always liked mentally noting what a traditional SS should run; being impressed when a SS/AA hemi ran into the 8's, or recently some GA early Camaro's being near the top of qualifying....it means something.

Except for traditional SS cars, you never know for sure whats pulling into the water box, what to be impressed by (or not)...but that's what we've got...still the best show going IMHO

Super Stock Production is like Modified with more rules: production style engines and heads running lbs per cubic inch. There are 4bbl and 2bbl classes. I'm a little confused on how you can dislike something you don't know anything about.

Complete rules are available in the rulebook on www.ihra.com

I'm pretty sure you have to run the heaviest shipping weight for a given body style so that would be a 396 weight for a 67.

Removed post, what was I thinking!!

Re: HP Adjustments on NHRA.com
 

Back in 74 I was bracket racing my 63 Ply at West Hampton with a single four 413, a small Lunati cam, 10” convertor, 4779 Holley and cheap headers. Without me in it the weight was 3350 with about ½ tank of gas. It typically ran 12.0s to 12.10s and occasionally dipped into the 11.90s. at 113-114.5 MPH. That summer I put the 413 into a 67 Cuda fastback that I bought from a neighbor. The Cuda had stock 273 suspension, full interior a well used set of 9 x 14 slicks and the same 10” convertor. I put an 8 ¾ rear and K member in from a 68 383 Cuda that a friend stripped. I expected it to be a lot lighter but it weighed 3330 with half a tank of gas so a mere 20lbs was the difference. It ran 11.80s and 90s at 116-117.5 the whole summer. 2 tenths and 3 MPH just in body change, I was surprised at the time.

Michael Beard, I think what Randy was thinking is when see a regular SS/Stock car run you have a idea what motor is in the car, 305 in a Camaro, 68 cuda 426 or 69 Camaro 396, in the gt class`s it could be chevy, Pontiac, cad,& its like watching .90 class`s. Tom

yup - try running a G Body, Ive been writing letters too but -

Re: HP Adjustments on NHRA.com
 

I don't run gt... but questioned a friend how he got a similar car into gt. Response was heaviest weight for the body....then you can make a 200 pound adjustment before you claim your gt class.
