Should be interesting.

Mike Delahanty · 11-21-2011, 06:45 PM

SECTION 10A: STOCK CARS, ENGINE: 1, ROCKER ARMS (Page 5)

Aftermarket rocker arm permitted. Either adjustable pushrods or adjustable OEM rocker arms permitted on any application, but not both.

Can we get a translation on this please.

AAA/SA? ... CC/SA? ... would it have been that difficult to just reorder the classes from A on down?

OK, roller rockers are allowed. ANY ratio allowed?

I have it on good authority that the rule will be amended again soon. As it is now, they did not even specify stock ratio or stock configuration. As open as it is right now, by the letter, we could go out and buy a set of Jesel or T&D shaft mounts in whatever ratio we wanted. After all, they bolt to a stock head.

Of course, NHRA would say "just because we did not tell you that you cannot, does not mean that you can".

I guess it is kind of cool, though. If your Stock Eliminator combination is factored at 500HP, you can run AAA/S at 3170 with driver, on a 9" slick.

As I posted before on another thread:

Would have to be the same setup as stock, IE. shaft mount or stud. Same ratio as stock spec. IE. 1.5 etc. You guys had to know it was coming!

Trust me on this, this will be the spec. Jim

For the video deal, I kind'a saw this coming cause when I did the cam affixed to me hood in Sonoma , Danny told me to take it off cause it didn't fit with ESPN being the video rights holder. F it, I did it anyway.
Can't do that now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well ESPN/NHRA, step up to the plate. Why don't ya'll take some footage of all the great stk/ss action yourself's and spread it around. I want to see Toby continue from the stands, don't believe he can be affected, but ya never know. Anybody want to buy a lightly used HD Pro???????????

Agree with you but some would be mad about being in a lower class even if it's the same weight break...

The camera/video rights section caught my attention, as well as substance abuse policy now being more in line with what most employees working for a company already abide by.

Stock still 1955 or newer to put that BS to bed.
