way to many weight breaks for allmotor and weight penalties....

not to be a dick but every other car manufacturer makes different engine codes also which means they should all get weight breaks..Example....I have an 8 valve VW motor that flows 170ish cfms and .450lift and 120ish cfms at .450 lift and if i were to run in the all motor class my car should have to weigh 1100lbs..right......this is just an example as the rules are stated i should have to weigh 1600lbs.....I protest then.....hell if i had a yugo i should get a better weight break and if I have a geo 3cylinder even better right.

THere should be one weight break. 1600lbs and make sure you build a car that is competitive and not a car that you will bitch that it is not competitive and be granted a weight break.

sorry for my rambiling what do you guys think of this????

here are the weight breaks for all motor..edit.. is a 3 rotor still considered a cyclinder because i see no mention of this.

Those All Motor weights are kinda much, why do only the Honda's get a weight break?

I found the weights for ProAm, looks like 2000 pounds with 2 power adders and 1800 with one. Agein this one is scewed towards Honda, most cars won't even
come close to this. I think NHRA got it right with 2300 and 2400....

Dont worry steve, I will way over 2400 Maybe I should bring the crx out for idrc, heheh still weighs 2140, Jason

 

Hmmm, how about a convertable Neon.... The roof has got to weigh 100 pounds.

correct me if i am wrong but it also states quick class cars are not permitted use of ne thing but pump gas ( no alcohol) is this true if so what happens to big names like callos & gardella who have made the switch to running alcohol this season????
More competitive 9 - 10 sec class(which is needed)

 

Quick class can run Methanol, a 150 pound weight addition is needed - along with an on-board fire suppression system.
