Minimum and maximum weight for Stk and S/S

X-TECH MAN · 05-17-2011, 08:33 AM

Go back to running the natural class ONLY.....no moving up or down and no more than a certain amout of weight over your class min. max. End of problem and the end of these stupid games that are being played by some of you. No more running to hide from another racer that might be faster than you.

WTF is a "salty dog" ?Who cares if its not 1970. The more screwed up the rules are by letting more get away with crap the more problems the tech crew have in keeping up with it. All you guys think of is "Its all about me and what can I get away with". Makes no difference to me. Its all a bracket race anyway and the new cars with the bogus HP have lowered stock and S/S to the level of whale s#it.

travis,

does what does that mean for me > i cannot fit into v/sa ?

u/sa 20lbs x 215 = 4300 + 170 driver (i wish) = 4470

how much would i have to weigh to get tossed ????

jack

Sounds simple to me. Gotta be at least 5 lb light for the next class down, right?

Thank the good lord we are not mixing plutonium...... Jeez christmas I am begging for this to stop, maybe we can revisit the red light rule again and again and again and again. This is like ground hog day all over again. Lets race and have some fun. Bring on those CJ and drag pack cars.....

NEWS FLASH!!! NEWS FLASH!!! NEWS FLASH!!!

I have been directed to post the following:

The rule in respect to weight for Stock and all S/S classes will be enforced exactly as stated in the 2011 NHRA rulebook. That means the heaviest a car can weigh in its class is the minimum of the next heavier class. There is no longer a 5 pound deduction as was used at Norwalk.

Here's hope that this clears up the matter and everyone is once again a happy racer.

It should also be pointed out that a few classes have no maximum weight. An example would be classes such as U/SA. The rulebook for U/SA shows a weight break of 20.00 or more. "Or more" means there is no way to figure a maximum weight.

Jack,you can't fit into V at any weight.That class is for 4 and 6 cylinder classes only.

As with almost every change thats been made lately, some people just have to find something negative to say about it. Shoot I'm glad they made this rule though it really doesn't affect me, My stuffs not fast enough to run heavy. I've been waiting for the big"atta boy" from all the guys complaining about all the "heavy" runs, I guess it's easier to complain than to commend. Joe
