Rumor has it that there will be 6.00, 6.50, 7.00 classes added to Stock. Anyone else hearing that?

I was told that when I went thru tech at Charlotte by Bruce. If anyone should know, I would think that it would be him. I had posted that info after I had gotten back home.

I'm just curious. What kind of ET and MPH would a stocker in a 6.00 lb class be capable of running?

A combination rated at 500HP would weigh 3170 with the driver.

Not that long ago, what was considered a fast traditional 425 rated combination ran around 9.50 @ 136 in AA, which is a 7.5 class, at 3360.

Figure that a 6.0 class stocker would probably be faster than SS/B cars that win class at Indy, with ease. Probably as fast as SS/A cars, with a little effort.

Traction will be the limiting factor. Of course, they may allow the fast classes a 10.5" tire, too.

If it's got a blower about 8.80's at 160 plus.

I first got into drag racing in the early 70s. Running the stock class when it was stock. I known run local points in brackets. So I don't even care about the NHRA!

How is this relative to the question? Jim

It is not relative.

Just what the eliminator needs, stockers with parachutes.
