  1. It's the norm. Time trials, get dumped the first pass, or not qualify.
  2. Bummer about classes like this is you buy things like pistons, and valve springs in bulk and sit at the bench for hours matching them. If you're serious, you pitch the springs every 50-75 runs.
  3. Just the nails? I'll take that. Own a slow VW or Broken DSM?

  5. You need to drain your box... It's full.
  6. Yep, unless you are lined up against a car in the same class, it's a bracket race based off of dial-in's. If you're in a same-classed car you run heads up. If there is enough cars in a particular class, they'll have run offs as well for a class winner. Th way I always looked at it, is if you can run under your Index, and the car is consistent you're good to go. Now if you're .4 under and another car in your class is 1 under well pray for a red light, or tree the hell out of them.
  7. The way I've always understood the rules, It would be a stock pulley, you can cut up the stock air box, you can change the cams but it must retain stock lift, and super blueprinting of the motor. National record for the class is: AA/S 9.37 144.95 09/12/10 Don Fezell - Du Bois, PA '08 Ford Englishtown, NJ
  8. Sure will, Down pipe will need to be fabbed with the style of O2 Housing.
  9. The LT1's were/are bad ass. 500ish hp form a "stock" motor.
  10. Engine Blueprint specs for motors http://www.nhra.com/competition/blueprints.aspx Car Classifications http://www.nhra.com/competition/classification.aspx Class Indexes http://www.nhra.com/competition/classindexs.aspx
  11. .5 tree The rating is HP factored for your car x pounds per hp If you go on NHRA's website, they have the factory rated HP, and pounds per HP they have figured on for your car. For the 79 Camaro I'm looking at it wold work out like this: 287x11.90+170 (driver factored weight)=3585 minimum weight That would be H/SA for Automatic, or H/S for manual. the class index is 12.15 and quicker. Index is also figured , and to run that given class you need to run the minimum time. Anything under 1.15ish IIRC is subject to tear down and inspection. If you set a record for class run, you need to back it up, and you get torn down for inspection. If you cant run with your rated class you can add weight and move down one or loose weight and go up one. If I remember correctly. The Shelby would likely end up in AA/FI or A/FI based on the 500HP rating, and 6.94 pphp wich is gonna be around 10.6 or quicker
  12. Way hard, I built a Firebird for J/SA and K/SA before the kids arrived. I wasn't 6/10 under or anything but it was legal and consistent. The class has always intrigued me. If anything else it'll be a monster bracket car.
  13. Figures, one of the most populated classes. Research time. Thank you sir. Scan would be cool.
  14. For the life of me I cannot find any of my rule books, but can somebody look up for 11.9-11.99 pounds weight break. I'm thinking it falls in the D,E,or F SA. but I can't remember.
  15. Wipe until it's not slippery anymore.
  16. It's just like 70% of the threads on VW Vortex. Love it. Which I might add I hadn't been on since the GTI left. I'm all good really...
  17. Pretty much yeah. Dream version: TPI, Roller 406, T56, D60, 3.55, 17x9's. Oh mama. I wish I had a scanner, I'd put up the 86 T/A I had years ago. TPI, 406, Auto,3.73's low 12's all day long, never revved it past 5500.
  18. Wheels gone. Thanks James (BDAZGSX)
