Do I understand this correctly that my combo in B can affect other cars from AA - C because it’s in the same engine family even though the engine specs may be different, like different heads and valve sizes? I must have skimmed over the paragraph below too quickly.

“1st screening: The average for all vehicles running the particular engine family combination being reviewed is included in this screening. The review process will average runs in ALL classes TOGETHER with the same transmission type & the same body platform.”

It would save NHRA the trouble of switching back to a full tree after the SG/SC cars run.

The sad part of your post is that, IMHO, NHRA is more likely to do something like that than hire qualified people. They (NHRA) really don't want the complicated rules that go along with S/SS but they don't want us to leave because there are so many of us.

So, if your combo has 2.07"/1.725" valves and oval port heads, it will not affect a combo with 2.195" and 1.725" valves and rectangle ports.

Okay, makes more sense. Why couldn’t they just say running the same engine specs rather than “engine family”.

They wouldn't do that. They paid a law firm to write the wording.
