Super Class rule clarification
It seems like everybody uses a throttle stop in the form of restricting air flow into the intake manifold in the .90 classes to kill ET.
I was looking at the NHRA rule book, and I did not see anything that prohibited other forms of slowing the car down, or that said that airflow restriction is the only acceptable method of killing E.T. Can somebody set me straight on what is, and is not acceptable for super class racing? Maybe I am not looking in the right part of the book. |

Re: Super Class rule clarification
any means just short of using the ingnition..........a T/S, a bolt, just lifting, but no stutter.

No Limiting RPM chip in the ignition during the run which is basically what Rick said no stutter.

Re: Super Class rule clarification
You can also use weigth to slow the E.T. the rule od thumb is every 10lbs is .01 and every 100lbs is .10 but there is a limit to how much removeable weight you can have so you would have to set the car up to run .10 to .20 under the index without any weight and add the weight as needed.

Re: Super Class rule clarification
Thanks for the feedback guys. So i have not found anything in the rule book about fuel cut methods of RPM limiting, and nobody has said anything about not doing it...... so do i assume it is OK?

Re: Super Class rule clarification
I would think if cutting fuel makes it stutter or pop and snap it would be considered a stutter and would not pass. if it cuts rpm without the stutter and is smooth sounding it may work .only thing is i would not want my fuel cut back and ruin a motor.
