Good luck to you, I hope you can convince NHRA to ammend the rulebook so the Tri 5 chevys can race in stock. I always thought that the cars most responsible for 'stock car racing' either on the track or the street in the early days were the '55-57' Chevys. And they are the best looking cars ever produced imo.

Terry is correct, '55 Chevys are allowed to race stock in IHRA. One is campaigned by a fellow from the mid west -Kansas City or somewhere, his last name is Hillig I think. It's a crate motor car, all black hardtop-one of the nicest restos/race cars I've seen. He has a brother that races a crate motor '68 camaro, C/CM I think and lives in the Carolinas. Silver paint, just as nice as the '55, and used to run it with a 327 in E or F stock .

The 55 that you are referring to at the double points race at MIR was our car. A good friend of ours, Dale Smith, drove the stocker that weekend and dad drove the super stock 55. Dale has raced brackets, hot rods, and super street for years. Dad's trying to get him hooked on stock or super stock. Dale has a 62 belair.
