Billy : I know you must be waiting for someone else to point this out, so
if the 1978-79 caddy is 400 lbs heavy in u/sa ,that would mean that it would be
illegal under this interpretation of the weight rule.
The very reason that myself and another AZ racer decided not to build one of
those cars. Just in case nhra decided to enforce their own rules. Combo gone!!

At the Orlando pts the div 2 tech director ( Jim C) told racers that they must weight no more then the minimum for the next class up. Example if in you were running D/SA you could not weight more then the Minimum for E/SA with your combo. At the Gatornationls I went over the scales more then 150 pounds heavy and the div 2 tech director Jim C told me I would need to take 30 pounds out to make my car legal. After that run I went and talked to two of the national tech directors. They then told me that there was no such rule and I could run as heavy as I wanted to and not to worry about it.
