I know that this wouldn't affect many people but the way that NHRA has "manipulated" the FWD weight breaks to keep from having to add ONE class it could be an issue with several combos.

Would it also be a problem for some of the cars in the one pound (and more) classes?

I’m thinking height limits would be a good idea. Maybe a maximum height of say 6’ 3ā€. For stock eliminator. Might be one competitor upset and a few happy! Lol!

Short drivers may use a cushion to prop themselves higher in the seat...and fill it with lead...

I used a NHRA Seat Cushion in the wagon
( But NO Lead ) when I had
Back Issues after an accident.
Danny made me take it out first run and
said I was out if he saw it again!
