It wouldn't have to be badged as an SS. NHRA isn't that strict anymore. But if it is claimed as having an SS engine combo then it would need to have the correct hood for the engine.

I'm having flashbacks to the time I commented on here about Jimmy Alund's taillights not matching the year claimed, which itself isn't a problem but led to others noticing that the year claimed could not possibly fit into class being run, and him being thrown out.

if they can't get him thrown out on alleged cheating the next avenue in the playbook is to try a class rules infraction.

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm feeling the "camaraderie" everyone has here with their fellow racers.

It really doesn't have much to do with the hood. If the car has a 350/255 then it HAS to run either F/G/H Stock which he did in Dallas (G). At the Vegas Natl. Event, he ran F, At the Div. Race, he's running E. A 350/255 combo can't run E. A 350/300 combo can't run G. Did he change the heads or the engine since Dallas? The hood is just one of those things that SHOULD be changed (the Fletcher rule).
As far as running E and CLAIMING a 350/300 if it's not then that could screw up the AHFS averages. I'm not accusing Joe of cheating, I'm just asking a legitimate question that any Stock Eliminator Racer should be asking and did any NHRA Tech Official look or even care?

If he could find that one 350/255 that was built with a ZL-2 hood, I know of at least one guy that would be real happy!

To answer your question, Hal will look at the entry list and put the car in the class with the most entry's and try to get all the heads up match ups possible .
Why?, Because he likes heads up runs, wants to race all the really fast guys
