Tom didn't say it, I did! LOL!! We need to date the picture (year), otherwise we're just speculating...for instance, the Hurst/Hemi cars started in SS/B in '68, then were banned to A/MP in '69, and back to SS/A for '70...

I believe this is pretty close...

<u>1967 396/325hp Camaro</u>
'68 - SS/E
'69 - SS/H
'70 (now) - SS/F

Didn't Ed Hedrick run in 'E' with the '69 Yenko?

[/ QUOTE ]
I talked to Ed about a week ago, and it seems like he told me one year (I believe the '69 season?) that the 4-speed cars were in SS/D while the automatics were in SS/EA...like I said, NHRA played with the splits and the factors through those years, and really screwed with some of the racer's minds...

I think this would be a good time to ask.
I understand SS = Super Stock but what do the sub codes stand for?
SS/EA stands for what?
A/MP stands for .... ?
I need a history lesson guys.
