Same engine, same car just more weight.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about something else.....I thought I was the oldest fart on here. Started racing in '63

It's just my opinion that everyone,within the confines of correct shipping weight should run in the upper and lower limits of the class that their weight dictates.This will help to get HP factors closer where they need to be by limiting some of the bagging going on.It's common knowledge now that the CJs need lots of HP as the incoming Mopars will.It might also out some of the hidden combos.We are at a time where we don't need to lose participants in S/SS
because these new and obscure combos are keeping cars in the garage.NHRA also has to do their job in policing it to make it work.Wishful thinking?Probably but you have to start somewhere.OK old timer LOL?
Us middle aged guys will probably never see it happen,but ya never know.Who woulda thunk our govt.would go Socialist on us?
