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

Travis,
How many car (if any) have been DQed for this rule so far?

Thank the good lord we are not mixing plutonium...... Jeez christmas I am begging for this to stop, maybe we can revisit the red light rule again and again and again and again. This is like ground hog day all over again. Lets race and have some fun. Bring on those CJ and drag pack cars.....

NEWS FLASH!!! NEWS FLASH!!! NEWS FLASH!!!

I have been directed to post the following:

The rule in respect to weight for Stock and all S/S classes will be enforced exactly as stated in the 2011 NHRA rulebook. That means the heaviest a car can weigh in its class is the minimum of the next heavier class. There is no longer a 5 pound deduction as was used at Norwalk.

Here's hope that this clears up the matter and everyone is once again a happy racer.

It should also be pointed out that a few classes have no maximum weight. An example would be classes such as U/SA. The rulebook for U/SA shows a weight break of 20.00 or more. "Or more" means there is no way to figure a maximum weight.

Jack,
That means you don't have to take the full cooler out.

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

Very simple. You run the class where your weight falls. What's wrong or difficult to understand about that? What could there possibly be to complain about?
