Rule Change
 

Can anyone explain how this rule change will affect GT?

Taken from the rules update section.......

Super Stock

Section 10B

Page 155 (08/08)

Designations: Delete second sentence in third paragraph "All cars must start with a stock shipping weight of 2,500 pounds or more."

Re: Rule Change
 

Because it affects the weight breaks shown in the classification sheets.

Re: Rule Change
 

Its like telling you the minimum wt of GT cars. So you ADD to it while trying to make wt.
No car can start with a 2300 cavalier shipping and 170 driver and a lower hp motor. 2500 is the LEAST you can use to calculate from....

Re: Rule Change
 

The rule is now 2670 is the min. wt possible for any class. The 2500lb is now deleted from the rulebook...
at least that is how I'm reading it.

Re: Rule Change
 

As I read it, any shipping weight to start with but 2670 minimum weight with driver.
The 2300 lb Cavalier referenced by Dick can run but it must weigh 2670 minimum.

John: That's the way I read it too. Not sure how or what effect this will have just quite yet. Was there a special car that was excluded for SS/GT?
Now, if only NHRA would open up GT for the station wagons! That would be cool.

Re: Rule Change
 

Wagons in SS/GT would be cool. I sent a email to NHRA requesting that consideration. I would love to race my 67 Wagon in SS with 71 455 HO Engine. I just cant get excited about a 326 Pontiac build up. In mean time the car is going together as a IHRA CRate Motor Car......

Let the long roofs run !!

Station wagons in gt are ok i have the paper work from nhra that says it is ok now i made them give it to me so when we get car done there won't be no problem i got it approved on nov 30th 2006 if anyone wants a copy of the letter i have contact me

Re: Rule Change
 

The previous rule excluded cars with a shipping weight less than 2500 lb., for example, a Dodge Neon could not run in SS/GT (shipping weight = 2389 lb).

With this rule change, a Dodge Neon CAN run SS/GT and one with a 318 might be a killer combo...

Sean,

Have left you a Private Message with my contact information. Would like a copy of the letter you have stating wagons are legal for SS/GT.

Thanks
