Chevy built aluminum fitted lightweight cars &amp; over the counter race parts but NHRA only classified Steel cars ?
kind of switch n switch game some of the racers played from track to track National event to National event ?

The Tedesco brothers here in the Pgh area had a Z11 or Aluminum '62 Car from a famous racer. don't know from whom.???
The car is supposedly still around sans front end. .and a front end is around Western Pa / Eastern Ohio.
but the guys here hunting are mum.

Tom,

What I'm saying is that the aluminum cars were not allowed to run in any Stock class. (He slipped by with the inners). In '62 the only aluminum was the fenders, inner fenders and hood. Those cars all ran B/FX. The '63 Z-lls had 13 different pieces of aluminum (but no longer any inner fenders) and they ran A/FX after the Winternationals. IF Chevy had provided a list of 50 VINs to NHRA, they could have run Super Stock. When they first showed up at the Winternationals, they had no class because Chevy provided them with a list of only roughly 40 cars and they invented a class for them - LP (Limited Production), which meant they all ran against each other. Pissed a lot of people off.
