Default nhra division / powerade

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.

I think sponsors would appreciate the extra exposure of a NHRA big show. To have the chance to run one or two NHRA domestic events would be awesome. I think those could be added to a racers schedule without taking away from the other events.

Wow. Never thought i'd hear someone complain about having too many places to race competitively.

I always thought having it split into NHRA/NHRA SC was stupid anyways though. This isn't the special olympics, there is no reason why we need to only run against other sport compacts.
