I think the NA guys are really going to be right there in the thick of things. Like you said a 575-675 pounds is a lot and those engines are making some serious power also.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but it certainly doesn't appear the faster CJs need any help. What a deal.

That was an "Accounting Department" rule change. Those with the Gold make the rules!! It is nothing personal just business.

Nothing different than what's gone on in recent years. Money talks and nothing else matters with NHRA.

Re: NHRA Changes the Rules Today
 

A heads up .4 pro tree is kind of stupid for this Show Down class, it should be at least a .5 Pro tree. Super Street has a .5 Pro tree because of the weight of the cars and they don't have to weigh anything close the factory cars. Also, Unless you have a trans brake in an automatic trans, you'll not stand a chance against a good clutch car. What is NHRA thinking now? Maybe they are going to allow trans brakes in stock because of this Show Down class. It's also a step towards ADRL rules with pro trees.
NHRA can mess up a wet dream without even trying!!

Re: NHRA Changes the Rules Today
 

What usually happens when a different sanctioning body (ADRL) wants to run a class very similar to NHRA rules on a NHRA sanctioned track? I think I remember something about Pro Mod Fuel specs at Houston a year or two ago. I think NHRA basically penalized 1 type of car from running more Nitro because NHRA didn’t like the parity. ADRL almost didn’t have a race because of it.
I’m just wondering if more than 6 cars show up for this thing at Indy, can NHRA now dictate how ADRL does things with the wt breaks in the SCS? Forgive me, I am clueless, so please don’t curse me out.

OK, I gotcha. Brain fart! Jim

Re: NHRA Changes the Rules Today
 

Do you have to race this class? Or can you run AA, BB,CC, Etc.?
If the rules are such as you can win don't run the class. No reason to run a class with a stiff index just to lose. And maybe not get to race on raceday.
I really know nothing about this but that makes sense to me.

Re: NHRA Changes the Rules Today
 

Art, you are right, and I'm sure if nothing changes we will be in BB or CC. We are unloading the car right now, and putting it on the scales and see what we can do. Mark you probably feel like I did with my 69 6-Pak everytime I rolled up against a 396. I got no help or sympathy from anyone. It did pretty wheel stand pictures though. That is why I proposed a 5% reduction for all older than 2008. Easy to do on Excel from what people with a higher grade level tell me.
