New Classes in Stock AAA/SA, AAA/S and FS/AAA
 

Does anyone know the reason behind NHRA adding classes to stock eliminator? Is there an insurance sponsor for these new classes, so that if you run these classes you get a discounted rate through AAA coverage?

From my understanding, the SRAC was asked about adding FS/AAA in a meeting and it was a unanimous "No" from the SRAC members. Then, less than a month later the new class is announced.

What is next after these classes for the evolution of "stock" eliminator?

Well, AAA is the 7.0# class we were asking for 14 years ago when we got AA. The reason was that there are several engines rated at over 440HP, which even a 7.5 end up well above their curb weight.


No idea why NHRA chose to do it now.

What combos can run AAA?

'65 Race Hemi
'64 T-Bolt
'69 ZL1
...and?

Wonder too if the guys already running in AA can even get 200+ lbs out.

Selfishly, I hope this is the time when NHRA will add the '68 Dart/Cuda to Stock @ the 450 hp rating the '64/'65's got!

Now I have a reason to put the aluminum nose on my '64 race hemi car.

Does any know the index for AAA/SA?

I can tell you why FS/AAA was added. The chassis cert is only good to 3600 pounds. This year, some jerkoff got the combination hit, again, and now the min weight in FS/AA is 3590. If one does the math, that only leaves a ten pound cushion. So another hit, and the car would not be legal for stock, anymore.

Super Stock

How long before we have NHRA's insurance company saying "hmmmm, 160 MPH cars racing 75 MPH cars? What could happen?"
Although, this could be a good thing. It would be a good time for NHRA to bring back "Junior Stock".
