Super stock has had different itterations over the last 35 years, but these cars have evolved for the better. I raced in 79 to 82 with a SS/J 66 deuce and the best improvements were tubbing, six point cages or better for rigidity, any rear end, transmission replacements, and improvements in engine parts for longevity. Things just evolve for the better but the intent is still the same. These cars run a full 2 seconds quicker than in 1968. Not bad for 41 year old technology with improvements.

@raginroadrunner

car manufacturers do no build for racers.

Of all the cars we raced with our Fords...the Mopars were the toughest there were. They were dependable, tough, fast, awesome on the top end and you had to be on top of your game to beat them. i used to get really pissed off at how ell these guys cars ran. Then I switched my anger towards Ford for not giving us more to work with.. and I remain that way today...Ford engineering management is the shits and none of them truly understand drag racing.. They all need fired by Mr. Ford.

@aminimaleffort ..I don't have to look at anything to know that when we staged against a Mopar it was game on and it wasn't that chickencrap bracket racing..it was balls to the walls round robin...the most durable, best running and best driven survived..all the rest went on the trailers...it was a real man's racing back then..compared to today.. this is for wimps...too many know it all's that think they got a real rig when in reality all they got is............"Crap"...

[raginroadrunner]

@aminimaleffort..I do not know..I'm going to say sometime in the 90's because at around that time the Mopar guys started getting riled up with NHRA and new associations sprang up like Pacific Street Car Association that allowed them.

[aminimaleffort]

@raginroadrunner

you might want to go look at NHRA and IHRA statistics before you talk shit.

@raginroadrunner

exactly when were the hemi cars banned from SS/ class?



[raginroadrunner]

@aminimaleffort...dam close to it..I know from how you sound you are a Chibbie guy that got your ass kicked by a Mopar..it's OK,,you not the first and you dam sure won;t be the last one..Chibbie Dudes have to learn the hard way..but a good ass kicking shuts em up..

@raginroadrunner

you write to yourself, how cute. how i a hemi head on my valve and guide machine right now, what you are saying is not true. you cannot look into the intake and see out the exhaust.

[raginroadrunner]

@raginroadrunner ..I started out somewhere in the late fifties, on into the sixties and ever since I have not left the world of high horsepower gas engineS and heavy thumbing diesel. Worked for em..all..been there and back...and what makes a "HemI" Mopar so unique is that you can set a cylinder head on a block without the valves ..look down through an intake port and straight on through the exhaust port....a straight line...this is one thing that makes them so lethal on the top end..the flow...
