Chassis setup must dominate garage time.
I suppose they have already thought about race specific builds as a disqualifying factor. That certainly takes out some of the classic stocker/Super Stock of yesteryear. But A-bodies would certainly still be on the front runners? They are light. More abundant and the most bang for the buck in the Mopar world? If I was a Chevy guy? I would probably choose a Nova for much the same reasons.BO29 cars would not qualify. Neither would Thunderbolts etc...
There are several 340 A-bodies that are top dogs in the stock class . A black Duster and that yellow one are 2 examples.
My favorite racing classes.
Vettes are well balanced. But they are heavy, and of course EXPENSIVE. But if money is not the object? Then so be it. Personally? I like a Duster build. Being naturally a little nose heavy they launch well. (Although that's with wider slicks.) It's the 6.5" max tire requirements that will test any design concepts? And what works for traditional drag race index racing? May not under these rules?I saw these guys run at Indy a few years ago.
The fastest 2 chevies were 69 Corvettes. Both had 15x8 rallies, and fairly bald (shaved?) Firestone wide O vals. Both cars were L-88 powered and ran in the 9s.
And im telling you, those cars really looked stock!
