NHRA adds new classes to comp (including ones for PROFWD and Hotrod)
Quote:
New Comp Classes
NHRA has created four automatic classes in Gas Dragster — A/DA, B/DA, C/DA, and D/DA — with all of the same pounds-per-cubic-inch designations as manually shifted cars.
With the growing interest in small-displacement engines with power adder, as common in the NHRA Xplōd Sport Compact Racing Series, for 2007 NHRA has added H/D (six-cylinder, turbocharged, four-valve engines) and I/D (four-cylinder, turbocharged, four-valve engines).
Within Altered, NHRA has created AA/AF and BB/AF for front-wheel-drive vehicles that have a maximum engine displacement of 153 cubic inches. Methanol is permitted. These classes are patterned directly from existing sport compact categories so that a competitor may compete in two different series using the same combination (AA/AF is patterned after the tube-chassis Pro FWD sport compact class; BB/AF is for semi-unibody front-wheel-drive cars and is patterned after sport compact’s Hot Rod class). Both classes are restricted to four-cylinder, four-valve overhead-cam engines.
Indexes for these classes will be released at a later date.

NHRA News: NHRA announces certain rule changes for 2007 (11/14/2006)
what does this mean? Not a whole lot for most of us but i really hope to see some of the FWD cars get in there and surprise some people. Hopefully they can step up and learn how to cut a light.  |
