Minimum and maximum weight for Stk and S/S

[Pete Beau]

Travis, what is NHRA's calibration policy for the scales?

I agree with Toby. They either need to rewrite the rule or let us use the next class minimum weight for the maximum. Just my opinion. Dave Walther

Go back to running the natural class ONLY.....no moving up or down and no more than a certain amout of weight over your class min. max. End of problem and the end of these stupid games that are being played by some of you. No more running to hide from another racer that might be faster than you.

WTF is a "salty dog" ?Who cares if its not 1970. The more screwed up the rules are by letting more get away with crap the more problems the tech crew have in keeping up with it. All you guys think of is "Its all about me and what can I get away with". Makes no difference to me. Its all a bracket race anyway and the new cars with the bogus HP have lowered stock and S/S to the level of whale s#it.

travis,

does what does that mean for me > i cannot fit into v/sa ?

u/sa 20lbs x 215 = 4300 + 170 driver (i wish) = 4470

how much would i have to weigh to get tossed ????

jack

Sounds simple to me. Gotta be at least 5 lb light for the next class down, right?

Jack,you can't fit into V at any weight.That class is for 4 and 6 cylinder classes only.

As with almost every change thats been made lately, some people just have to find something negative to say about it. Shoot I'm glad they made this rule though it really doesn't affect me, My stuffs not fast enough to run heavy. I've been waiting for the big"atta boy" from all the guys complaining about all the "heavy" runs, I guess it's easier to complain than to commend. Joe

I agree with Fletcher. KISS principle. Easy to list the minimums for each class the car can compete in.

It can't be done that way. Just for an example, my Turismo is 225lbs heavy for DF/S, but is 400lbs light for EF/S. (which points to the class structure being jacked up in my opinion, but that's the framework we have to work with currently... and I think it could be argued that since they have their new 'class singles combo', they could reinstate the old FWD classes, but I digress)
