REVISED RULEBOOK RELEASED FOR NHRA XPLŌD SPORT COMPACT SERIES

GLENDORA, Calif. (Nov. 17, 2006) – The NHRA Xplōd Sport Compact Racing Series has released its 2007 Rulebook, which can be downloaded at http://www.nhrasportcompact.co....html.

The rule book changes build upon the successes of 2006 and are designed to ensure the high level of performance currently enjoyed by the premier sport compact series in the country.

“The goal of the NHRA Sport Compact Tech Committee is to develop rules to increase participation while continuing to provide fans with the best side-by-side sport compact drag racing in the country,” said Josh Peterson, general manager, NHRA Xplōd Sport Compact Racing Series

Some of the changes include enhanced requirements for oil containment devices to reduce the number of oildowns and adjustments for weight and turbo sizes to promote growth and parity in all categories.

The series is highlighted by its five championship classes (Pro RWD, Pro FWD, Modified, Hot Rod and Honda Tuning All Motor). In addition, the NHRA Xplōd Stylefest showcases a compliment of the lifestyle and entertainment elements synonymous with today’s sport compact scene. More information is available at nhrasportcompact.com.

As always, any question on the rules please email Pat Cvengros at pcvengros@nhra.com.

that catch pan is going to be tough with a 4" downpipe..lol. And a diaper in 08! That'll stop the oil downs!

 

Awsome,
thanks for the update and keeping the sport going strong.

i think my friends just pulled out thier credit cards.........

 

PRO RWD weight to 2650, and turbo to 86mm, this will slow us down.

 

thanks for the rules time to go to work

 

Thats not to bad I wanted a new catch pan anyway. Thanks Bigman

 

nhra is always on top of it!

are we allowed to utilize full belly pans? meaning cover the whole bottom of the undercarriage

 

All-wheel-drive in Pro-FWD for next year. We get to race Ali A. now.

Should make for an interesting class.

I will never think of PRI the same way again!!!

 

Fuel System
Section 4, page 28

"All cars must be equipped with a drain valve located on return side of fuel rail to facilitate removal of fuel samples for fuel-check purposes."

We have not been asked to have that on the SFWD cars before. I wonder if this is going to be something that tech is going to be checking, or if they are going to start setting up the fuel test shack on the top end of the track.
