Years ago, I had a '78 Fairmont 4-door with a six. A collision killed any thoughts of building it (R-T-U/SA). I did manage to win a gamblers' race at Englishtown while missing the front bumper and grille.

Mark, we've got it all wrong! NHRA doesn't want any more "underclassmen" in their racing program. Apparently, we don't spend (or won't spend) enough money to interest them. They want AAA,AAAA and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/FS and Stock to keep the other end of the Eliminator happy.
Recently, I asked my new DD (a nice kid BTW) to ask about expanding the FWD classes by a couple (or few) because of the amounts of weight that I must add to change classes which basically makes my combos into single-class cars. I got a letter (through him) by Pat C. telling me that I can remove or add 420 lbs. (that's 840 lbs. in a 2600 lb. car!) to my CF/S combo to move classes. He didn't or wouldn't mention my AF/S combo (the car that I was racing on the day that I had my talk with my new DD) which requires a 1200 lb. swing to go to AAF/S or BF/S.

They don't even know their own rules, General Regulations specifically states that a car can't have more than 500 LBS. of removable OR permanent ballast. When I brought this to their attention, I got crickets!
