In the 2009 NHRA rulebook on page 109 under FRAME:4.


WEIGHT

Class and classification weight are determined WITHOUT driver weight.

What do they mean by this then?

This thread must had made some people soft in the head.In the discussion about the CJs there was an uproar that they were way under factored.There was word that they were running way heavy,obviously to slow them down.Who did it hurt.So far no one.Just wait till you start getting heads up runs,then it affects others.The common attitude on here is that " hey,if it doesn't directly affect me I don't give a ****".
We have only ourselves to blame.If we had some more people with Billy's integrity we could make some headway with the money jackals in Glendora.
