Default Accepted Body Lists

I'm told the NHRA Accepted Body List is a work in progress. Give them a week or so to get it caught up. They have no intention of outlawing any body that is currently running the series.

NHRA does allow minor "boxing" in the firewall for tire growth.

Sorry guys, didn't get on the computer over the weekend.

My sources tell me.......................

There should be some physical distinctions between Pro FWD/Pro RWD and Hot Rod/Modified. Some of that distinction is in the body, some is in allowable technology.
