I went to the Shootout in Ohio, I entered as stock class, was a great time, but Id never do it again.. Maybe to just spectate. As stock, I didnt realize that you could run drag radial, No sway bar, exhaust, alum drivshaft etc etc. I came as bone stock and didnt have a chance , If they had bone stock class , then maybe I would..But there are guys in that class running 12.7.. Below is Stock class
Factory Mach - N/A Only! Street tire/drag radials, factory or aftermarket full exhaust, headers OK! Aftermarket gears and basic engine external bolt ons (no ported intake), intake spacer OK! Factory transmission, strengthening mods only, (example: 26 spline input shaft OK), no 2 step, no trans brake, aftermarket shifter OK! aluminum flywheel OK! Factory style suspension front & back, example no tubular K-member or tubular A arms. Aftermarket rear upper lower control arms OK! removing front sway bar OK! Aftermarket full/standard sub-frames OK! Lowering springs OK! Custom tunes OK! Full interior, No skinnies, factory style 17" or larger wheels, factory style brakes, any Driveshaft!
See, with those Mods, A stock Mach with Stock gears wont touch these cars..
