i have been looking around at different rule spackages and talking to a lot of my racer friends about the weights in hot street.
the best balanced answer i can see for now is to make small block cars weigh in at 3000lbs and big block powered vehicles weigh in at 3400 with no breaks for running N/A against the power adder racers.
the reasoning behind not giving out weight breaks is that i cna not find any consistant formula or amount that is discounted for running on motor. some sources only drop 50lbs while i found others that allow dropping up to 300lbs from the other basse weights. without a clearly fair solution i think we are better off keeping it simple and sticking to only two base weights for the class this year.
i already have it written in my notes to research further for the 2008 nats, by then we will have a solution that is fair to everyone.
a huge thanks to everyone for the feedback and i hope to see you all out there for the east coast nats.
