Question for Class Racers.

[Bob Don]

ISCA (show car sanctioning body) has competition classes that break down very similarly with NHRA classes. It just could be these cars are lettered to fall into these classes?

From the ISCA rulebook:

"3330.0 Competition Stock — 1960 or later drag type stock
cars. Must have seat belts, may have a shoulder
harness. Rear tires can be no larger than 10.5” slick
or 12” street tire. Bolt on traction bars and ladder
bars are allowed. Wheelie bars are not permitted.
Multiple carburetors and factory styled fuel injection
systems are allowed. Must have full factory style
interior; no interior gutting allowed. Rear seat may be
removed for installation of roll cage or roll bar. Must
be carpeted.
3340.0 Super Stock — American factory produced drag type
high-performance cars. Roll bar or cage and shoulder
harness. Engine in stock location. Any size street or
racing tires. Must have full factory type upholstery;
rear seat may be removed for installation of cage
or roll bar; must be carpeted. Any intake manifold
permitted provided unit is same configuration as
original."

Showcar association? For racecars? That's kind of obscene/wrong....on second thought, what do they pay to win? Contingency? 10K to the burnout contest winner? Bob where do you find this stuff, or are you making it up?

Seriously, you must have been really bothered seeing a Cobra Jet Snake decals so popular in the 70's. Give me a break, how about crying about when Claude Urevig sold the Truppi-Kling Briggs Chevrolet for over a million point two dollars with a completely Street stock Convertible with all the stickers instead of a original LS6 SS/EA that Ralph and Tommy built. Like Mr Billy Nees said "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"... How many false Mona Lisa are out there sitting in people gratto, nobody knows. If a guy likes to have a car with letters on his window, let him.CR
