IHRA Rule changes

>> I do have a question though, this -"All classes may move up or down one class from the original classification" What is our Volare's original classification? Are they saying if it is originally classified as an I car that we could only run H, I, or J?

As a natural I car, you can run H, I, or J. That wording was actually in the 2007 rulebook, so I'm not sure why they put it in as a revision.

>> What about the new HP for the -1.600 pass at Rockingham

Rockingham was the last race of the season. I'm sure they can get the new HP on it before February.

>> It once was the largest small block or simply largest engine used in that line of cars as a baseline. In other words, a 360 crate motor combo would use the heaviest 360 shipping weight, not a 318 or 6 cyl. shipping weight.

That's wording that *should* be in the rulebook but isn't, and I never have seen it in there. Until they do so, claiming different engines and thus shipping weights could get you into different classes. It *is* specified in the rules for Super Stock Production.

I wonder what the Indexes will be like for the SS Modified FI classes. Should be comparable to the carburated ones.
