New Super Stock weight breaks for 2017

Michael, NHRA bases their safety requirements on the potential performance of a combination. Like it or not, the FGT and FSS indexes are still soft. They, NHRA, wants factory cars at the top of the Qualifying sheet. And that allows someone to come out with a factory stocker motor and still qualify in SS, I'm sure you like that aspect. It's their show, sorry. But you do make a point about combining Auto and Stick. But thats not what we are talking about here.

What I read is NO changes to SS at all. So if you have an old SS car, don't worry. Nothing to see here. This is just GT.
8 New classes are being added, 4 in GT, 4 in FGT. All they are doing is adding lower wt breaks for the GT/AA and FGT/AA cars that have nowhere to go if they get power added. That's a major problem for the new factory cars. You can't even build a factory 427 right now for any GT car. 2017, you can.

If I don't change my GT/GA for 2017, I'm a GT/KA with the same index i had the year before. End of story. Calm down guys. Its just 8 new classes with lower wt breaks, buy some new Class Designation stickers and your good. Nothing happens to your index. No sticks in your class. It doesn't say that anywhere from what I see.
