AA/S AAA/S and Class consolidation

[bsa633]

If consolidation of regular and FI classes happens and will show that fi cars have an advantage over the older cars...1:most guys will switch to newer cars 2:the guys with the older cars will stop coming to the events...

Looking at the figures on EFI vs Old Stuff. A/SA vs A/FIA (using Nitro Joe's numbers) averages .032 better for the EFI, C/SA vs B/FIA (9 lbs/hp) is worse @ .106 better and I am waiting for the comparison for E/SA and C/FIA. There aren't enough stick shift EFI cars to have much average. And this is only using runs of .50 under or better. And of course you could compare all the classes. Joe's numbers have national and point races. I am trying to get the comparison numbers on what NHRA has in these classes. There is no direct comparison for B,D,F, etc because EFI classes are 1 lb per hp at each level where B,D,F etc are .5 lb/hp. Ok I just ran the numbers and well let Joe verify them when he calls. C/FIA is 1.009 under for an average and E/SA is .917 under or .092 better for the EFI.

What about the new possible weight breaks? I'd like to know what combinations would be possible for them whether new or old?

sportnats* Stock = first round 3 headsup,would have been 5 with the "consolidation" but then you dont know who slides over to AA and in what class the particular FIA cars actually land! I woulda guessed more headsup than that..
