Ya know, this is "one of those" combos that should be getting more help from NHRA. The comparisons have been made to the 70 combo and the 75 combo should be rated less. But that being said, the 75 combo should be able to easily go under the index and if P259 is your number then you're in Div. 2? Unless you're planning on going to Indy, then I wouldn't be worried about heads-up runs in O.

I agree with Billy, if you are indeed from D-2 O/SA would be a good place to hide! D-2 is loaded with killer fast H-I-J cars. Good luck and enjoy yourself.

If you speak to anyone at NHRA HQ, you might want to ask them to fix the Classification Guide for the '75 Nova - no shipping weights are listed for that model, just a repeat of the lb.-per-HP/factor chart.

Good Luck with your project, but just remember that this is supposed to be "FUN", and when it stops being "FUN" we need to find something else to do!

This has been a dream of mine for a while but the fun part for me is the biggest part. I'm just new to all of this and some things get a little confusing for me with rules and trying to figure out how to make a car that weighs 3540 go 13.99 at our altitude with a 2bbl lol

NHRA also wants to see runs at a Divisional before they start making adjustments to HP.

Yeah, they probably should after the dilemma they caused with lowering the horsepower on the 302 2bl Fords.
