IMuscle Car Era Popularity - Indy 2022 Stock

tavirace · 09-07-2022, 11:38 AM

I have raced stock before and appreciate the class. I was at Indy this year and enjoyed watching as much of class eliminations as I could. I did hear tear downs weren't as strict as they once were, could this be a trend. Let's look at one car I have a 1971 Pontiac Ventura four door. The most power it comes with is a 307 2bbl according to the guides.But I can change the front sheet metal and rear tailights and turn it into a Nova. Then I can claim it as a 1970. Looking at the guide it tells me I can run a 350 factory 300 horsepower with aftermarket heads, only available in a SS two door to my knowledge but it's there. Then it tells me I can run a 402 factory 350 horsepower big block in a 1970 Nova non SS four door, shipping weight 3346.Has anyone ever seen one ? But it's stock legal. But if I showed up with a aftermarket carb on my 307, I'm out of there !
