I can't imagine that a Super Mod in Super Stock CAN have angle plug heads and that a Super Mod in Comp CANNOT have them--no logic there----as for roller rockers bet its gonna be OEM location and ratios ---No T&D/Jesel shaft style rocker systems UNLESS that style is OEM (Mopar,etc)

Indexes are never put in the rule book. I'm guessing there will be another announcement relative to the new indexes. Jim

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???????????

Who dreams up this crap anyway? Seems almost laughable to even put some of this stuff in print. And even funnier that quite a few of you will actually put up with it year after year. Time for another venue and some real rules that actually mean something. You know, the kind that can't be interpreted 100 different ways depending on the incident and the competitor. Hell, how much is the budget for the tech dept? With the way this is written it shouldn't be any more than allowance for a third grader.

So are all of the super stock only cars with 6.0lbf weight breaks going to be allowed back in? I have to say that I would love to see one of the 68's cudas or darts in stock. At least that would add some additional excitement and even amidst all the unrest of NHRA's idoacy(if thats a word), seeing some of the SS only combos in Stock would be exciting.

Thanks, I thought they might be talking about photos, but see its really only about videos in the car. Just making it harder for Ken and Toby to get the great videos. Trying to keep regular folks from seeing how exciting wheels up racing is.

Larry Hawks car still fits A/SA B/SA & C/SA. No joke.

I see that the aftermarket automatic transmission cases will now be listed as legal for everyone, not just the Drag Paks and Cobra Jets. JW is getting ready to release a replacement for the TH-400.

The next sentence reads "NHRA-accepted adapter plates permitted". Does this mean that the bell housing on the 200 can be machined off and a SFI housing adapted to it?.
