No More Automatic Horsepower Factoring

Starting with the 2021 racing season NHRA will change the way stock class cars are classified. They will be classified by weight, cubic inches, and type of carburetion. Engine must be stock appearing but any internal modifications are allowed.(pretty much like they are now). Horsepower rating is not considered. Any questions or comments call 911-555-NHRA.

You missed one other change which will be how the handicap will be at the track! 2021 will be 1 car length per tenth of the difference. In other word for .25 difference = 21/2 car lengths!
