A 1970 Nova can not run double A. It breaks 8.65 making it a natural B car up A down C.He was DQed on wrong class before tear down.

This was posted on another thread. Is it true that a "70 nova can't run AA/SA because of the wt.? Or has Drag Race Central just got the class wrong because Luke is in the system that way?

Re: Is this true?
 

Last year I had a 70 nova 402/375 steel head and its natural class was B/SA. Could only run A/Sa to C/SA. I do believe with the aluminum head it can get into AA/sa.

Joe,
Isn't it true that the addition of aluminum heads only adds HP and weight, it does not change the factor. A 70 nova is a B car and cannot run AA by the way I see the factors. Just makes me wonder if it is a DRC mistake because you don't get much by that NHRA tech Crew that is at that race.

Re: Is this true?
 

Sorry for the delay but I've been pretty busy and didn't see this until now.

I just checked the NHRA sheets and they do show the car in AA/SA though I evidently missed the year as it is listed as a 69.

I will make sure to check the tech card when I get to the track tomorrow morning. I apologize for any confusion,

Thanks Dan,
That makes things look better. The 69 Nova 396/375 al head carries a 8.45 factor in the guide. I think that makes it a natural "A" car. So a move up to AA is OK.
Thanks for the DRC reports. It's nice to see what is happening when your stuck at home.

I believe the only 1968 Nova can run AA.SA
It has a ligther shipping weight.
