Default Re: Minimum weight in NHRA SS/GT

Quotes from the rule book. Correct me if I'm wrong.

“Shipping weight will be determined by using the power to weight factor of the vehicle with the heaviest gasoline engine and appropriate transmission, and multiplying the factor times the horsepower or performance rating.”

Heaviest 61 Falcon

factor - 25.7 HP - 101
25.7 X 101 = 2595.7 lbs. for shipping weight.

“The proper class weight will then be determined by dividing this figure by the horsepower or performance rating of the engine used”

82 Mustang 302/132 HP

2596/132 = 19.7 as a classification factor.

Your car would be GT/M (14 or more) and not viable.
