Thumbs up Re: Is this a mistake?

Bill, your last statement sums it up. This is not racing. However in the process of clarity, the Challengers have the same front end. Any car with an IRS is allowed a straight axle and the attachment points are specified by NHRA. All the Vettes have them, the Dodges and 04 ish GTO's; with the LS!, all come to mind and there are more. If it was all Chevrolet cars, there would be no problem. Kevin is going into the seimi's today in Houston in two of them. Wait till the Hellcat (actually in process now) and the Demon (planned) get here.

Jeff, did you have to change your non vin. pink car rear end? 9in. ford or Chrysler when NHRA. approved the rear end set up 4 bar, Per Joesph Teuton.

Just because it's allowed doesn't it fair But rules is rules
NHRA has turned car classification into a political spin zone
The pen is mightier than the sword Paper cars rule
Good luck today Kevin

Jeff you are correct. I do think the older vettes are still a little more restricted than the leeway that has been given to the newer cars (all the newer cars)

Tom not sure what your getting at here. The pink car has the rear end that was approved by NHRA. I believe it's been stated that all IRS cars were allowed a straight axle.

No one questioned whether or not straight rear conversions were allowed.
Sound like a lawyer wrote this one .

Joesph, factory drag pack race cars can use 9 in. ford rear, normal stock cars have to run corp. rear end. Dana or 8 3/4.

I guess I have a lot to learn here because I don't understand where the misunderstanding is. It's a factory car available to anyone that has a straight axle swapped into it just like any other IRS car running stock.

I'm sure.
But I don't think you answered Tom's question, so I'll ask my own.
Do your Stockers have an 8 and 3/4 or a Dana center section?
