It doesn't give a minimum. One 4-barrel is legal.

Hahaha well I've seen that statement with a fine and a year suspension more than once! Go ahead if your brave!

Billy's right. And, it's been done many, many times.

Div 6 & 7 have been pretty specific that you can't switch between the classes. As the saying goes "your results may vary"...

Well, you may want to revisit Division 7.

Yes I'm sure but I've seen others not so lucky. Depends on your gamble.

Stacy, the rule says 2 4bbls or 3 2 bbls max. Not only.

I have seen cars run single 4's in the BM/CM classes in division one and three. Asked Jim in IHRA if I could run a single and he said sure! I always call and ask before I leave from the great white north. Specifically when it comes to interpretation!

I have not run across any one of these guys that have been not helpful. Just call your division guy and get it over with, its easy!

Yes but I saw a car like that and I asked Travis and Bruce and they said no. Officials usually always have maintained that the rules state what you can run THATS IT. Any thing else is simply unofficial assuming you can and pushing the envelope. They can decide to or through you out. I'd hate to find out after winning a race. Again respectfully it's a gamble.

That's why you should use your phone for your division.
I have tried lots of things, and when questionable I call, or take with me to a race, then ask If I can use it. If your really worried call the National office. JUST call!
If you did call them and they said no, then why would you think that it will change by chewing on it in a forum?

If the answer was "no" don't gamble, get over it. Go find some carburetors.

Have fun, get your stuff together and come play! These classes while challenging are very rewarding.

Yes! But what if you run out of your division. These guys r trying to bracket race with a single carb dude. Its all about the brackets. ��
