New Car Weights

Gump-It does not matter what any of us think about shipping weights. Manufacturer submits the weight and NHRA goes by that weight (whether it is bogus or not). 442OLDS-No new rules I am aware of either, just the same old ones that get complained about for eternity and nothing good ever comes from that.
George Wright-You are correct in your statement about big discrepancies in the weights that manufacturers present to MVMA and NHRA. You know I am a GM guy and I know you are right. Good luck to you and Jimmy with your new car when you get to the track.

My point is that is has become fashionable to stir up **** about things that we have no input to change as evidenced by the success of the SRAC. The most respected names in Class racing put forth lots of effort to benefit the sportsman racer and even they couldn't get into the thick skulls of the NHRA. What does it all mean? In a nutshell it means that in the spirited posts we participate in on this site or any other site concerning class racing we don't mean **** in the big picture of NHRA Drag Racing. Nothing against any persons that post here but boy can we do some complaining about things we will never have any control of.

Just my opinion,

Steve Williams
