Ok I’ve read the specks on the NHRA site to get my HP and base car weight. But I’m still to dense to get it in my head right. 70 Duster 340 me 250 lbs. D is 10.0 factor E is 10.50 and F is 11.0. Does that mean to run F at 11.0 times 299 for HP then add 170 pounds (- 80 lbs me)to get car weight? Any help will be appreciated!

What you posted looks like you have a handle on it. It's pretty simple. It's your NHRA HP factor multiplied by the weight break for the class. So, yes, 11x299+170. And you simply subtract the amount you weigh over 170 from the weight of the car. Good luck and have fun!

Goto the class racer info website. And make an account. Once you enter your car info. It’ll figure it all out for you.natural, lighter and heavier classes. But you have to register (it’s easy). I’m embarrassed to say. I’ve been looking at that website for a long long time. And just registered last week. I had no idea how much more info there was available. If you just register and log in.

I don't think that is right. Correct me if I am wrong guys. Not sure if 3160 gets rounded up to 3165 or not.
car plus round up weight of driver to nearest car without weight 5 pounds 250 lb driver D 9.5 multiplied by 299 plus 170 3010.5 3015 2765 E 10 multiplied by 299 plus 170 3160 3160 2910 F 10.5 multiplied by 299 plus 170 3309.5 3310 3060
