Minimum and maximum weight for Stk and S/S

Ed Wright · 05-17-2011, 04:54 PM

Very simple. You run the class where your weight falls. What's wrong or difficult to understand about that? What could there possibly be to complain about?

I'm going to sound stupid here but most of you know that already but what the Hell does it matter to the NHRA if I show up for B/S 500lbs too heavy?
It doesn't affect anyone but me, I'll just be slower because of the weight.

AHFS.

I've been waiting for the big"atta boy" from all the guys complaining about all the "heavy" runs

Already commended them when the rule was originally announced. Atta boy, again!

Thanks for the clarification, Travis.

I wasn't complaining. It's really not that big of a deal, but I just wanted them to follow what it says in the rule book (which they did) or change the rule.

Jim....Its because some of the new under rated DP's and Mustangs along with a few of the old (yes under rated) cars run really heavy in order to keep for getting hit with HP by the AHFS. its easier than trying to win a race by shutting off at 1000 ft and carry a bumper bolt length thru the traps.

There's plenty of other ways to slow a new CJ down,

right, Big Lar... ?

Got same problem as Michael Beard, car falls 'naturally' into AF/S where minimum would be 2549. With as much as I can get out of the car I can only get it to 2900. Adding 200 lbs gets me in BF/S at the minumum. The wide weight breaks in FWD stock classes make it hard to change classes without weighing heavy in one of the classes. be nice if they would allow some lightweight 'replacement' body parts(hood,fenders,trunk) in these classes. Just a thought.

Mark, you are not speaking of "CRUISE CONTROL" are you?

This is a relatively simple rule. It is not hard to understand for the vast majority of people, even Larry Hill understands along with several other extremely smart people.
