We have tried this b4, the car count was too low - and quite frankly, we are unable to produce a complete list of the 177 VINs.

NHRA has a disclaimer in the heading of the Stock & Super/Stock rules about limited production cars & their validity...it basically gives them the ability to allow/disallow whatever cars they want/don't want. I meant to look last night at my older rule books and see how far back that statement was in there, but I forgot. Here's how it's worded in my '09 book...

"OEM may apply for inclusion of any special production runs into the Official NHRA Stock Car Classification Guide. Special run must include a minimum of 50 units of an already accepted body style, need not me showroom available. Applications evaluated on an individual basis. Acceptance will not imply precedent."

A good example of this is the '98 LT1 Camaros...racers wanted the newer body, but not the LS1...so bingo bango, GM told the NHRA they built 50 Camaros and 50 Firebirds in '98 with the LT1...!

BTW, my memory is foggy, but I was thinking the last time we tried this, we got stuck waiting on something from the manufacturer (GM)...?
