New HP Factor Puts My Car Between Classes
I just saw that NHRA lowered the HP rating on my engine, by 10.
Nice, but a little awkward. I'm exactly half way between C & D. I can leave the car as is, and add 95 pounds of strategically placed ballast, to drop to D.... or, I can replace my beautiful recently restored front seat, in favour of racing seats, and eliminate the rear battery, and remain in C.
The car has always had a reaction / weight transfer deficiency, so in that respect, D sounds like a smarter move.
however, that means more weight. More weight means greater chance for parts breakage in this tank.
I do have a new clutch / lighter flywheel, and a lower gear transmission is on it's way.
Hoping this will help remedy my 60ft problem... without ballast !
Recommendations ? !
