I was referring only to Stock Eliminator in that post. Most of the upper class cars in Stock are rated at 395+, so yes, a 1 pound weight break means 400 pounds or more to move to another class. We're at 425, 435, and 445, depending on the engine that is in the car at the time. We've run at 435 since late 2007 I think, but we have a couple of other piece in the works. So yes, I understand having to move a lot of weight if the weight breaks went to 1 pound (my suggestion was to start at 7 pounds for AA).

There is a Super Stock car in the future, but we're running in Stock only right now, I have not looked that close at Super Stock.

6 pounds SS/AH and SS/A
6.5 pounds SS/B
7 pounds SS/C
7.5 pounds AA/S = SS/D
8 pounds A/S = SS/E
8.5 pounds B/S = SS/F
10 pounds E/S = SS/I, then S/S becomes one pound classes. 11 = SS/J, 12 = SS/K, etc, down to SS/P = 16.

Michael Beard, if you get some time, can you e-mail me, or post the spreadsheet on like Indexes. I think it could present a lot of issues (example, SS/EM 9.95 and SS/B-BA at 9.90), but would like to check it out. Thanks.

Mike, I am aware of the weight breaks, that's not what I meant. I was saying that I have not studied what one pound breaks would do to Super Stock. That's why I was only posting about Stock. Super Stock is a different animal.

That says it all right there.

x-tech needs to get out of the 70s or go to the nostalgia drag racing board.
