GT class configuration...

Bill Harris · 11-02-2008, 12:01 PM

If you have Microsoft Excel you can use my class calcuator to find out which classes a particular setup can run. You need to know the shipping weight of the car, the factored HP of the engine, and the trans type.

You can download or run from:

To calculate GT combinations:

1) Go to www.classracerinfo.com
2) Register as a member if you have not done it already
3) Go to link for Technical Tools
4) Select NHRA Classification Tool

5) Select your car year-model (1971 Plymouth, 1987 Camaro, etc) from the drop down boxes

6) Click on the specific make-model-engine combination from the classification page (looks like an NHRA class guide page)

7) You will see Stock-Super Stock classfication information. At the bottom of that classification information page is a button titled "GT Classes". Click on it.

8) Select the engine you want to use from the list that is displayed and click on the button "Classify"

9) Ta-dah! All the GT classifications with weights, classes and indexes for each eligible classes.

Dwight, you've been commended on other threads for this great tool and in my futile attempt to find a traditional SS car within my budget I have started to get more serious about making it a GT class car in order to use some of my inventory. The tool you created is absolutely phenomenal in terms of time savings for the racer looking to find a good competitive GT combo. Thanks!!!

Dwight Southerland · 11-20-2014, 02:03 PM

Gee thanks, Jim! I'm humbled by the complement.
