The class will be just fine. Just going through a "lean" year is all. Still a big fan base, and sure it will be tough to compete against a few, but there never will be anything as cool as a HEMI Super Stocker. Yeah the Drag Paks are growing, but no way they will ever have the coolness of the Cudas and Darts.
I agree.....

I would like to see the Hemi's run against the chevy's and ford's.
You can. SS/A,B,and C can run against the brand X cars. Don't look past those cars while roaming the pits at INDY. Plain and simple no one made a more badass Super Stocker then Mopar. Sure the new Cobra Jets are fast, but the huffer is a differnt animal, and too difficult to compare the two.

You are correct but its not the same as when you had no other choice but to only run SS/A,B,C etc. With the choice of having your own class, you can avoid NHRA's lack of policing to keep parity.
Currently on the entry list, there are only Fords in SS/AA and SS/CA, a chevy vs. ford battle in SS/BA, no SS/A or SS/C cars, and a good battle of 5 cars in SS/B. We all know the boosted combos of the ford have some very loose reigns but the thought of having SS/AA like it was years ago is appealing(But only if properly policed). I know NHRA will probably never do enough for it to come back but it would be nice to see in my opinion.
Either way though, I'm still a fan

I'd love to agree with you but, they just re-factor your
package if you beat the Chevrolets too often. I'm really
surprised they let the HEMI be "Top Dog".

Jason Shumate joined the SS/AA battle with his 65 Belvedere.
Scott Gove has also added himself to the Indy entry list. This is going to be awesome. The current fastest car in Super Stock and the baddest SS/AS car in the nation are going to be at the same track. My first Indy is going to be amazing!
(145 cars listed for SS so far)

CW and Dr. D would probably disagree but in my humble opinion the $18,000 Mopar pay out is lopsided. $15,000 to win with $3000 spread out is great for a couple of cars BUT this class is an ego driven class. Such as "I have the fastest, meanest, monster out there". The guys that have these cars don't care about the eliminator, just look at last year how many qualified but didn't stick around for SS eliminations. I think $8,000 to win with the other $10,000 spread among the ranks is more realistic. Even a small check is appreciated as a token of appreciation for these guys bringing such a high dollar piece out and racing heads up. Again, just my opinion as I don't own one of the cars but I am a huge fan of this class and hope it continues to thrive.
