Just observing
Question on which car weight should be used for the AH/GT car we have been discussing. You say you have to use the heaviest car weight that came with a V8 with the same body style, ie fastback Cuda. The rule book on page 124 states "Shipping weight will be determined by using the power to weight factor of the vehicle with the heaviest gasoline engine". Doesn't say heaviest car, but heaviest engine. Wouldn't that be the Hemi.
Sure hope NHRA doesn't change their minds again. Last car I started building was a 68 Cuda for SS/B and they removed them from SS/B before I was 1/2 done. Thats about where I am now so I guess its time for another rule change.
