I am Ok with adding the lighter and heavy classes.
I also think keeping the fuel types seperate helps us, easy to see even comparisons.
Just my 2 cents.

I feel having classes for the lighter and heavier cars is a good one. I don't expect to run alcohol/E85 so I abstain from voting on the class subdivision by fuel type question. I do expect to run a heavy turbo car in the not too distant future.

Keeping the class subdivisions consistent throughout is the right way to go!

This all looks great to me. This will give some real Street cars some oppurtunity for some records

2 questions..........


Can a heavy car hold a record in a lighter class? (Say a 3200# car hold a record in a 2600# class)

Will 1/8th mile records continue to only be set at 1/8th mile tracks? This really penalizes the Midwest racers as we have no 1/8th mile tracks or races anywhere close. Realistically, I don't have any races anywhere close.

NHRA stockers get the 1/8th mile record whether they are on a 1/4 or 1/8th.

Other than that, carry on.

1st question: I believe the answer has always been no. You can only set a record in the weight class your car is actually in. I would suport continuing with this.

2nd question: 1/8 mile record on a 1/4 mile track? I have thought of bringing this up myself, but have not. This is something I can flash around at races this year and see how people feel about it. Good point about regional variability...

Since there are no 1/8th mile tracks out west that we run at I would like to see 1/8th mile records gettable on a 1/4 mile track.I think gas and alky are two different things,would have to change alot of expensive stuff to add alky.Would have built car differenty if I thought they would bee together.Will accept what the majority thinks.Guzzi Mark

Will there be a distinction between "G" and "RG" engines? I understand, previously a "G" engine would move a vehicle one class heavier. I have a vested interest in this.

I think Seymour did that to keep Mike from moving down to A and B and holding records in all 3 classes with 1 car.

Which would bring up the next question.........How long is a record good for? I think NHRA goes back to minimum after 2 years.

Just asking because some of the records are still held by cars that no longer race or in some cases exist.

Charlie, I've never heard that rule before. I think you're funnin' us.

Are you saying having a G motor in a 2600# B car would allow you to set the record in A or C?

OK, I understand. Unfortunately most of the C recrods were faster than the A or B records thanks to Mike.

Then please explain it to my pea brain! Why does a car with a 170 get moved to a heavier class? I guess If he were moved to a lighter class he would be at even more of a disadvantage compared to the lighter cars with a 225. Is that it? I'm so confused!!
