My Super Stock Chevy II......(project)

[Wade Mahaffey]

A word to the wise, just because some get away with something...does not make it legal...no matter who you are! I have several "best engineered" awards myself. I have also brought about change in the NHRA rule book. I know that NHRA inspection is not what it used to be either. If I was going to stretch the rules (and have from time to time) I call *Wesley Roberson and/or Bruce Bachelder. This is just a friendly reminder, I would hate to see anyone spend the time, effort, and $$$$$ only to have them say...you can't race it in Super/Stock. Also remember that it's easy to build something cool or trick, when building outside the limitations of the rules. Example: a tube chassis would be trick for traditional Super/Stock, but not legal! Wesley will be the first to tell you "if the rule don't say you can....then you can't " some folks get that twisted and think " if the rule book don't say you can't...then you can....and Bruce is not flexible at all! Take my advise, and ask the questions to the people that count. My procedure is to send e-mails with photos attached, then you will have a receipt of acceptance from the top! Educate youself and enjoy what you built!

NHRA Bruce Bachelder
IHRA Mike Baker
You can get their e-mail from either web site....and they will reply back to you!

Thanks Jeff. It does have the factory sheetmetal between the frame rails and around it as well. It was a pain in the butt to clean and weld back in. The only sheetmetal that isnt stock is the tunnel and wheel tubs.
On a side note........I just saw a feature on a Super Stock car ( a traditional Super Stock car too.) in national dragster and his tunnel was composite and didnt have any carpet on it...........and I didnt hear anyone say a thing............hmmmmmmm......

Anyhow, thanks for the compliments. I think I'm done showing pics of the build.......it will be done for spring of next year, you can see it then !

don't know who is doing the work, looks pretty good to me. glad to see somebody elese is interested in building real race cars. i might have positioned a couple of bars differently only because of the rules. just my opinion. gary

Actually it's better to be safe than sorry, there's no harm in asking some questions now, and some people here are just trying to help you out so you don't get the shaft later on...and I hope you will reconsider and post a few photos of the Chevy II you're building...maybe get some of inside the trunk to satisfy those that asked, and some exterior & interior shots of it as a roller before you put the power train back into the car and paint it.

yes we can give it a look. didn't go to indy. don't go much anymore. don't think much of the direction class racing is going. haven't talked to larry in a while, good people, don't know what he is up to.
