Good morning Billy,
What would fit in that class? Not that I need another project !
But it does sound interesting.

I've been looking around. Appears to be a land yacht class. Most smog era Mid to full size GM's with smaller motors, for example. '77 Lesabre 301, '76 Lesabre 350, etc. Most 360's, and some 400 Chryslers will fit into it as well with a bit of weight, depending on the platform...(Wagon's, NY Brougham's).

Good morning to all,
I've always liked a Station Wagon and a small engine.
I know it's not the best combo because of the frontal area and the amount of time on the track, but could be a "fun " ride.
Maybe put my son in something like that. What's the Index for that?

Where did you find this? I see the new class was created but the new index isn’t listed.

So what are they up to here? One can only speculate..
A need to pump up the S/S entries at Nat's? The new, friendlier NHRA?

It wasn't long ago that , in order to add another FWD class, they had to do away with one.

Remember, you'll need more "safety" in S/S ...Including full dress uniform, trans blanket? .roll bar or cage, 2 year belts , all for a high 12 index. Now, Joe Bracket Bomb doesn't need a bar until 11.49, but you will.

Billy, We better build two of them so we can race each other at Indy. Not much chance in the combo class, or qualifying, for that matter, the way I see it.
Meanwhile, let's bring in X/Stock too.

I would look at the '77-79 Seville, 350/180 (170 in '78-79), and the '78-79 Fleetwood Sedan, 425/180 if I wanted to build a Q car.

Edit: Billy's suggestion blows mine out of the water...

Indy 2022 #1 qualifier SS Ernie Neal '96 Caprice 10.960 12.65 -1.690
I'm gonna guess this is the guy who got his new class in exchange for not being able to run GT.
