I was trying to even comprehend the class guide for what class our new car fits into. Its a 2016 Drag Pack with the 426 and auto trans. I have no idea how to decipher the classes. I came from Top Sportsman racing. Can you guys give me a hand.


Now I know why there is a lot of discussion about the rules they may as well be written in Arabic. LOL


Thanks


Curtis

Here is the link to the 2015 specs for that combo: "http://www.classracerinfo.com/Classification.aspx?VALUE=76240&TRANS=0"

Would it be hard for Curtis to change his 2016 to run as a 2015?

Hello all,

Thanks for the info. With how much that thing weighs (over a 1000 lbs more than my T/S car LOL) if I understand you all it will be in C. From one of the local class racers they said it cant be run as a 15 as it is a new engine combination. Its an all aluminum hemi 426. So I will send off some e-mails and see what they say from the NHRA and IHRA tech departments. Your help was greatly appreciated.

Have a good one and stay safe,

Curtis

Look on the inner fender of your car on the right side (right from the drivers seat). There will be a tag with some info and a number. The number should be 2015000; instead of the three 000, yours will have your build sequence like 013 or 007 or something like that. As far as I know, they were all 2015 models, just a little late in getting done. Post the number you have just to keep us interested.

the tag under the hood is a 2015013. So now just to get the rest figured out. The paperwork we have for the car recommends c25 fuel?? I am not exactly sure that is legal in Stock. This is defiantly going to be interesting. But for the weight and what all of you mentioned I am guessing it will be a C car. Sorry for asking so many questions but stock class is anything but stock. Thanks for all your input.

Here is your class info from the awesome classracerinfo site.....looks like you can run A-C, and then C-E in super stock, you should register for Dwight's site pronto.

RE C-25, with just under 15 compression ratio up to 16.5 or so you certainly will be running the liquid gold. Its not cheap 25 bucks or so per gallon, buy it in the 5 gallon pails and stockpile. As you will not be able to get VP as easily as in the past and certainly not at national events. But you didn't buy a dragpak to try and economize now did you! Have fun, you will find a lot of help on this site. If you are coming from T/S, everything is likely cheap in comparison!
