NHRA HP Ratings wherever possible. (obviously the IHRA-specific classes like Crate Motor, Pure Stock, etc will use IHRA specs)

Add .30 to your current NHRA index. - which puts the 99% of the indexes back to where they were several years ago, matching the IHRA indexes. Crate Motors subtract .10. EFI, Trucks, FWD cars run in the NHRA classes. "New Factory Racecars" (COPO, DragPak, Cobra Jet), will utilize their regular weight breaks and HP factors, but will be separated from "traditional" Stockers by adding an "FX" designation in front of their regular class.

Also since Mike is giving me a big Stetson hat, a badge and a gun, he has elected to give me the final word for teardown
Hey, at least he forgot to demand AMMUNITION! Alex will be armed solely with his sharp wit. If you can outrun his scooter (on foot) in a best 2 out of 3, any DQ's will be considered null and void.

tried to DQ Dave young at Indy for having too wide a tire thought that you still had to run 7 inch tires in the late 90's true story
Which part of the story is true? Oh, maybe Dave *was* still racing back in the late '90s. ;-)

Man! I don't even have 7" tires on the Turismo anymore! Now that would make things interesting.
