Like the trucks and fuel-injected combos, FWD cars will run in the NHRA classes. As the owner of a DF/S Turismo, I'm aware of the challenges. I'm not a fan of how they consolidated the classes many years ago, but I would like to do a minimum of 'tinkering' with what has long been established by the sanctioning bodies. Since we will be running off of what are essentially the 'old' NHRA Indexes (current NHRA index +.30), even the slower FWD cars should be able to compete. It's on my "to-do list" to post all of the classes/indexes in the coming weeks.

I'm projecting there will be around 80 different winners in Class Eliminations. It will not be physically possible to tear down every single one. We do reserve the right to do inspections/teardowns, just as any NHRA/IHRA event.
