If that car is a Stocker, it needs to be in the Classification Guide.

It's not.

Where are the horsepower numbers going to come from that will determine the NHRA factors that determine class? For example, the 360 Magnum motor was never offered in a passenger car, and a new one hasn't been built for years. All you can get are crate motors, which are rebuilt engines. I'm not sure where the horsepower numbers on crate motors come from. They may not be run on a dyno according to the SAE standdard that is used for legitimate (conventional) new cars. Then again, they may..

There are several hoops to jump through if these cars are to be run in Stock Eliminator, it seems to me.
There are no numbers in the Classification Guide for ANY 2008 Dodges, much less 2009.

If they want to run these things at Pomona in February, somebody had better get busy, it looks like to me...

I sincerely hope they do; it would be really interesting!!!
