Would anybody have any other pictures of this particular car? My father would like to build one but would like to see a better picture it.

That's one nice 'X' ! A vinyl top on a race car is unusual .

What class is H/S ?

What class is H/S ?

It's H/Stock.

Stock Eliminator cars have many different "sub-classes". They are A, B, C, D/Stock and so on.... For example A/Stock is faster than H/Stock.

Correct. It's all got to do with the car's shipping weight vs. its NHRA-approved HP rating - most of the time it's the advertised HP, but NHRA would adjust if they thought a particular engine was under rated. You're basically running against your class' national ET record.

Thanks for clarifying "H/Stock" for me , Niko and Brett .

Not sure how I missed knowing that ( ) . If it'd been , say , "H/SA" or "SS/H" or "H/MP" , then I'd have been hip to it ; now I'm just embarrassed .

Thanks again , guys

My dad ran a 70 duster, first in G Stock, then SS/I . The horsepower rating was a bad deal if you were fast. NHRA would say you've been re-factored. You'd get put up from SS/I to SS/H. That would about kill you. The move up was a bad deal in the stock classes.
