Yes, but it can not be anything crazy, like a 6cyl in a cr-x

Has the NDRA thought about having a class with no motor swaps in it, like an all motor class (street). You have to run what came in your car type thing.

Well we did a few years ago, and not much for the car count.

"You have to run what came in your car type thing."

The races are much more exciting with the swaps allowed. All the people with badass setups have them in hatches and CRXs. Sure its been proven that you can make a tank competitive but the average guy can put a nice 2 liter in a hatch and have a chance to run low 12s instead of running 13.0.

Good move NDRA

The definite answer is, YES!

If you have a set up you think might be questionable then contact NDRA and ask them. As Glenn stated above, a 6 cylinder in a CRX might be a little much! The best thing to do is call them and ask, NDRA has the final say so go direct to the source!

Good luck!

Turbo 4: Aftermarket cast aluminum Dart block allowed. Stock deck height only.
Comp 4: Aftermarket cast aluminum Dart block allowed. Stock deck height only.
