Re: Overweight Stockers
Jack
maybe I did not word it right, but Billy is RIGHT what I was trying to say is you must fit the class weight ie. 8.00 to 8.49 and so on. |

Re: Overweight Stockers
I don't really see a problem with someone carrying extra weight. I could really care less if someone is running their car a few hundred pounds heavier than their minimum; just as long as they are not under weight. Running the car heavy certainly will not make it faster. Why not run the car heavy in really good air so as to help not to hurt the combo for everyone else who doesn't have the luxury of racing in good air?
Instead of petitioning NHRA to keep tabs on "over-weighters", why not ask to lower the indexes a tenth or two? Wouldn't that be the most simple thing to do for us and NHRA? Just my two cents... Ryan Becnel Last edited by STK4340; 03-30-2009 at 09:50 PM. |

Re: Overweight Stockers
So then what happens to cars like the portly cadillac? let it run heavy or make it extinct? If we outlaw it we are just doing what so many of you are saying NHRA is trying to do, get rid of the old iron...........

Re: Overweight Stockers
Ya - I can see it all now. The next thing we know NHRA will tie the AHFS system to weight. If you cross the scales and are 200 pounds heavy the slug gods will give you 5 horsepower.
