All other weight penalties stay in effect. What do you think? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Replies: [> Why ?

He will just build a bigger motor and kick yalls but. -- #1 Pig Fan, 08/21/07 11:43pm [Edit] [> Mr. Pigford, 2400#'s is an arbitrary weight. If you HAD to choose one weight as a minimum w/o a break, what would it be?? NHRA had multiple weights in the 70's but ultimately concluded one weight and a maximum CID would create a more even field and enhance competition. Did it work?? -- TROUBLEMAKER, 08/22/07 9:52am [Edit] [> Since we are just pretending, I vote 2350 minimum weight with 572 max inches, with one carb only. -- Mr.T, 08/22/07 11:19am [Edit] [> I thought the objective here was to give a lot of different combinations a place to race heads-up. Going to one Min. Wt. and one Max. Cu. In. will eventually tighten the field but it would more than likely immediately reduce car count and probably put some of our guys out of business all together. The fastest car out there right now (R.O.) is 565/2400. On paper the 585/2450 is a better wt. / cu. in. but I don't know of anyone whose had any real success with a deal like that. Bottom line for me ,I don't think it's broke so it don't need fixin'!!! -- Pigman, 08/22/07 1:26pm [Edit]
