Win loose or draw we all want to know that everyone is following the same set of rules. Do you have any AMA Specifications that show the shipping weight of those combinations not listed for a 69 Camaro? I just want to double check, we all make mistakes.

I guess if you care. It would be nice to know how these changes were calculated. It seems to me mistakes are on racers to find now. You start questioning weights/factors like this one.

1971 Dodge Challenger 340/275.
Challenger r/t Sedan 10.82
Challenger convertible 9.91

Also knock the dust off the 1971 Cuda grill and tail lights so you can run A/SA

Bad deal for a lot of people, how about the '83 Camaro 305/200/263? It no longer exists! Guys thought they were almost ready for the season, now they get to spend a load of money adding ground effects and weight just to keep racing the same class. Or spend a load of money adding ground effects, keep the weight the same, and jump up a class! Should be fun for anyone racing at SGMP or Belle Rose.

Has anyone seen anything posted or in writing.

Billy, NHRA did find an odd combo for you to bring to the front: 1971 T/A Dodge Challenger. I don’t know what is the worst make believe, the 71 T/A car or the .527/.527 fffffFFF. Ford camshaft

I have raced my 1969 428CJ Mustang since 1971 and the shipping weight was 3272. I looked today and it's 3500. The last time I raced it was 3165 with me in it and I had to add a little weight to make it into A/SA. So I quess this is another reason why I won't be racing NHRA anymore.

Would it surprise anyone here that in their "spare time" members like Dwight, Billy and Mark are doing the homework to bring to light all of the mistakes, typos or otherwise in the guide. I'm sure there are more than a few.

Not me, Frank
I don't care what they do now.
I do hate to see anyone get hurt by this latest play..or is it a ploy, to get rid of some more of those pesky S/SS cars?

Well my 62 year old car has lost 32# 😏>> and therefore is no longer allowed to compete in the class it has held the record in 27 of the last 40 years 😡😡 guys after the 302 ffffird dicking and now this it’s gonna be hard to keep supporting this technical agenda

1971 Hemi Cuda is 159 lbs lighter than a '70!! I guess the 4 headlights and gills took mucho weight off!!

The good news is my '70 SS/DA Cuda can now run in SS/FA! 4035 pounds!!

Who's writing this Sh!t!! Did they double check their math?? Maybe its April 1st??!!!

LMAO!!
