What class is the SS '69 Chevelle in? Can't quite make out the class ID on the window. SS/GA possibly with a 396?

Nice cars, nice parking set ups and better weather than we have had in the east as of late.
Have a great time.

Some cars are purchased race ready as my Nova, but as I stated in an earlier topic, many stockers and superstockers is built up from scratch here in Sweden (and Finland).
Before we fully adapted to the NHRA regulations we had the classes S (Standard) and MS
(Modified Standard) for many years. So we do have a lot of experienced gearheads over here.
Regarding partying at the track, its the same here as elsewhere, as long as you are in the ladder you´d better keep it cool. We have marshalls with alcometers in line-up checking both drivers and mechanics, and the tolerated level is 0 (zero). And if you get caught toxicated at line-up racing in Finland, you are not only disqualified, its even a matter of police notification. So partying is mainly for the spectators,and maybe team members w/o access to the track.
But then again, if you are eliminated at Veidec Drag Festival on Saturday night, beer and the cover bands is suddenly an option...

Must be a Yenko??? I didn't think the 427 was available in a Chevelle other than a Yenko.
