However, since we're talking about Denver's big race, that's what I'm looking forward to being online for (within the next 24hrs.), to see if any more racers enter (besides Randy Hyman), and how many others will increase that total field size percentage from what it was last night?
Now as for the PT Cruiser, I'm not sure why NHRA even let that vehicle race in DF/S...it had a turbo charged engine, and I checked the classification guide for that year and model of vehicle (with it's engine options), and the turbo charged engine didn't have the high enough weight to hp factor to allow it to supposedly run in DF/S...only the non-turboed engine was factored for DF/S...so NHRA dropped the ball on that one, and whoever was the No. 2 qualifier got robbed, because they may have been No. 1 if those guys would've checked their posted info, realized that vehicle didn't belong in that class with that engine set-up, and put it where it belonged (in either AF/S, or BF/S).

I agree,it has a weight break of 17.42 for the 146/180, which makes it a natural B car. No way it gets to D from there! Up or down ONE!
