Re: Weight question?
Yes, there is a max weight for class racing. If your weight is more than your class than you must move to the next lower class or get bounced. Approx. 15 years ago NHRA stopping anyone from utilizing excessive amounts of ballast. The reasoning is: get a more realistic hp factor for that combo. Comp, is different, the exact rule is lost some where in between my ears, can only be within so many inches as claimed ....... I think

Re: Weight question?
Comp is pounds per cubic inch plus whatever rule book says concerning heads/ carbs/transmission etc

Re: Weight question?
A min: 8×385=3080+170=3250
B min: 8.5×385=3272 +170=3440 All weights are rounded down to the next 5 pound increment. The A max would be less than 3440. Al Corda |
