Funny Car in Comp....?

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

Ok, so on the ride from Denver Im reading the rulebook for lack of anything better to do.

In the Comp section, it lists Funny Car....

But I cant find how/where it would fit.

Would it have to follow the same rules as an Altered ?

Where would say a 4 cyl Turbo Funny Car fall at say 150CI ?

Its really a random curiousity question, I cannot figure for the life of me where a Funny Car falls ? Under Altered, Dragster ? Where.

Thanks, this is really bugging me

funny car is in the ECONO ALTERED section of the NHRA rules book---TURBO not allowed in ECONO---not sure if they will let you run the turbo in a FUNNY CAR body in ALTERED tho---rules on the bodies are pretty restrictive too--best bet check with NHRA Div tech guy first then maybe Bruce see what he thinks --Comp387

There was a cat from D1, an Achieva body, I think. A/A, just maybe in the last 10 yrs? Neat looking car, I thought.

That was Grossi or was it Rossi??? A/A I believe

There were 2 of them in D1 : Jake Crimmins and Bob Rossi . Both Olds Achieva's.

I didnt see the post.

What classes can the Funny Car body be run in ?

Still "pondering" it....otherwise maybe an altered....

I am toying with the idea of a 4cyl turbo FC and would like to move up to Comp Elim....Be cool, fun, fun to work on.....just something neat I think, Ive got my eye on a 78 Arrow body

House will be done by end of the Month and Dad has the DP under control now and with Keith driving for now....

So well I need a new toy And the DP has always been a bit slow for my tastes... So new car, new team of misguided mistreants and rejects, what could be more fun.....

Cheers
