I find it hard to believe that NHRA does not have a "Platform/HP" breakdown somewhere in the Policy Manual.

You may be right Billy, but just "Winging it" when it comes to AHFS averaging and Instant HP hits leaves a lot to be desired.

Larry.....you trying to mess with my feeble mind?? 108"W/B compared to 116"W/B is a different platform don't you think?

66/67 Fairlane wagon is built on Falcon wagon chassis and has a shorter wheelbase then a Fairlane coupe

R.J., maybe in Larrys case I should have said "the platforms are basically the same". Kinda like a 1970 'Cuda and a 1970 Satellite.

Stock Class engine rules will remain and first qualifier will get bye run with impair field. What are benefits with heads up?

The smile on your face after the run!

Stock is a performance based class. Heads-up runs are the best part. Take them away and we might as well just run the local bracket race.
