Default Re: Where are the pre 1960 stockers?

Is it completely impossible to get an unusual car accepted ?
3 decades ago, at a youg age, I made a very amateur attempt at a Stocker. It was a 1963 Pontiac Parisienne hardtop, 300HP 327 4 speed. It wasn't in the guide. I contacted NHRA, explained what the car was... and they said, no problem... we'll classify it as an Impala ( which of course is logical ).

I have quite an assortment of factory service manuals. These are very detailed with specifications. Armed with this information, couldn't a person with a car not on the list, quite simply provide NHRA with the info they need ?
Geez.. this almost makes me want to try it !

With my stupid 409, I have found NHRA very receptive and understanding.
