Prior to 2004 the front wheel stock classes were from A - H and Sticks & Auto's were separated like the Rear drive classes. In 04 NHRA pared down the classes from A - E and combined the trannies (no pun intended), giving the sticks a 100 lb penalty. Not sure when they did away w/that penalty.

Why did they pare it down to begin with? I wasn't watching the front drivers then.

What I've seen with the ratings is firstly they're set by the factories. With the exception of the 2bbl 302 FFFords in "U" , aren't the rest set by the AHFS?
