Stock & SS in Denver

[GarysZ24]

Well, well, well...how does 22 Super Stockers, and 36 Stockers grab you all?

I hope Randy's car picks up for race day, because if it doesn't, then that'll adlib why I'm glad I didn't try going up there...last time I was there my best run was a 16.664 in rnd 3 (which wouldn't match the index there this year of 16.59 for DF/S)...THANKS A LOT WHOEVER'S IDEAL IT WAS TO CHANGE THE OLD STOCK/SUPER STOCK ALTITUDE CORRECTION FACTORS TO WHAT THE SUPER CATEGORIES USE!

Oh and I have some corrections to make on my last post...the race I spoke of was the 2003 Mile Hi's, and the actual class was DF/SA. In spite of my .061 to Eric Georges .249 rt. (only done because he knew he had a full second plus on me), I was outran with a 16.788 pass, by his 15.574 pass to easily beat my car even with his extra 700lbs! Thus, Eric qualified 3rd with a 15.53 sec pass against my 16.788 which was only good enough for 76th out of 77 vehicles (the only reason I wasn't dead last, is because Toby Lang was being kind ), because the DF/SA index was a 16.82!

In the new rules could you weigh over the heaviest amount for your class?
A 300hp car in the 10.0 - 10.5 class would be 3,170# min and 3,320# max correct?, and 3,350# is now illegal since it makes you slower? Or can you weigh the next legal class down or more? (Attempting to explain Stock Eliminator to folks that went to Joliet)

Gary,
Out of those 22, I've got to root for Henry.

I'm rooting for Henry too, because his car is my engine builders hot rod (Verle Stevens). As for the car and weight thing, I think you're right with regards to what you said about a 3,350# car being illegal for the 10-10.5 class, because they have a multitude of different classes for the rwd race cars. However, if you were running a V/SA car, or a fwd car with a V6 in it, then you don't have a slower class that your engine car combo would qualify for, thus you'd have to run the slowest class allowed for them...which again is V/SA, and DF/S. I'm sure Travis could way in more on this since he's an NHRA guy? However, I'd also think (unless tech would correct me), that as long as you're over weight and not under, you should be ok as long as you can run the index (or better), that you race in. I myself would run the slower index, because it would give me the slower index to qualify against, and would allow me more flexibility with regards to dial-ins and changing weather conditions....hope that helped...
