Out of curiosity, just what is the combination ID'd as a '68 Nomad in W/SA?? I am assuming it's a typo/mis-information of sort.

Thanks all.

In NHRA, U is the lowest V-8 class. V is for 4 and 6 cyl only; W is for 4's only.

IHRA allows 6 cyl cars in W (V is also 4's and 6's).

Thanks Mike..............
that was the explanation I needed. I wasn't aware that there was a difference in the two sanctioning bodies in the 6 cyl & 4 cyl involving classifying.............

thanks all

It's a 68 Chevelle Nomad wagon with a 250 with an IHRA hp of 140.

Re: 131 #1 qualifier
 
So the 250 is rated at the same horsepower that NHRA rates the 230 engine. What is the 230 rated at in IHRA?
