That is lighter than what my old max wedge used to weigh!

But to keep it on topic, the rule change all of the sudden does seem unfair

Mr. Jeff,

You have to keep in mind that Ford is NHRA's favorite! It's all about the non-for-profit politics!

To the guys on this thread complaining about the dp's, doesnt nhra give yall the chance to go up or down a class? If so why dont yall and get away from all the bad a@# dp's? Im just asking cuz i know we have switched classes to help fellow racers that we did not want to bump heads with. Seems like that would be the easy fix instead of beating the dead horse. Go to g/sa i can all most promise you that there will be no dp's there!

Mark, the 360 DP is at 310 HP with a break of 10.32 ... D, E & F
The 352 Stang is at 312 with a break of 10.43 ... D, E & F
The 302 is at 325 with a break of 9.91

That is correct ... your 69 breaks at 10.47 with is a natural E car, my 68 breaks at 10.58 which is a natural F car .. but you already knew that ..

yes i forgot that the last hp hit took us out of g/sa. So we are an e/sa car now but we can barely get to max weight for e/sa plus there is already a dp in e/sa. With a 6'4" 280lb driver we cant get to d/sa. Lol

That'll be a really neat trick with a 427/425-435 in a 69 Camaro Joe. And we really don't have the money to just junk the current combination and start all over again. Legitimately, we can run either CC/SA, or A/SA. I think you'll find new cars in both classes.

That said, I'm glad to see they corrected the error for you guys.

Well, at least that sounds somewhat more equal but what about the .400 tree out of the blue? Seems like unfair advantage for the 3 speed cars...plus the FS/S cars will run class using a pro tree and then eliminator using a full tree? I would claim foul on that one even if I had a trans brake and 3 speed...
