The 'new' cars will be running in their own "FX" classes to separate them out from the 'traditional' Stockers, but will utilize the same HP/weight breaks/indexes. We are going to rely on NHRA's HP factors for this first year. It is not my intention to do NHRA's job and try to refactor every combination, particularly without our own data. Invariably, someone would feel that cars were hit with too much HP, and others would say not enough. I don't want to try to become a complete sanctioning body for one annual event. We'll get this first year under our belt and reexamine for 2015. The Quick Fuel Quick 32 CIC Shootouts are Free Entry bonus races -- and that's one of the reasons why.
