It would be great if they listed all combos from 55-60 and not just chevy.

This is from Joseph Teuton from last year.

Joseph Teuton, stated the pink car had no vin. and had the same rear end setup as drag pack, so it must have started out as drag pack car.

The rules are the rules. Now, rate them reasonable. Not soft, but not so hard that no one will build one.

But the factory race cars need to be in their own division of Super Stock, or Comp.
Alan,
Do these Stock Eliminator cars race at the real street car weight or has Chrysler provided NHRA a fictitious much lighter weight?
Do they run factory suspensions or do they have 4 links like the DragPak cars?

My car enthusiast friends do wonder why the DragPaks, Cobra Jets, and COPO's are not in Super Stock as they were never street legal cars and feel the new cars should be in the Factory Stock class (or another name) because the differences between racing a 1969 car and a 2017 are immense.

Run the class off national records will solve all this...no more "soft" HP, no more playing with the gas and hitting the brakes to "protect" the "soft" index

Once someone runs it out the back door the rest will follow....My question is...are we RACING here or playing games?

Jeff was kind enough to let us use the car for our 2015 fall western swing. It was the Breast Cancer Awareness Car. We made it to the fifth round. In round five we raced Scott Burton heads up in B/SA and he beat the snot out of us. He was faster all the way down the track. I think the power on the 392 was at 389 hp, not the 402 hp that its rated at today. The car has very comfortable seats, they are so comfortable you could take a nap in them just like I did. It has full factory glass, power windows that work, hinged non Drag Pack hood with inside release, outside rear view mirrors, full dash, factory intake system ( its a one barrel ), and a killer sound system @ 7000 RPM. The biggest problem I see is it is very difficult to get the car to minimum weight, Challengers are just big cars.
