Terry, that was the 70s. In 1978, NHRA said you could add or subtract 75 pounds to fit the class. Then in 1981, NHRA said "shippng weight may be adjusted - 75 lbs or plus 150 lbs". In 1989, NHRA said "Weight may be adjusted +/- 150 lbs to fit natural class or down one class". But, now with NHRA allowing any amount of weight to be added or subtracted, racers often talk about how much weight they are carrying (300- 500 pounds in some cases) or how much they took out for a heads up run.
