GLENDORA, Calif. (Nov. 20, 2003) - NHRA officials announced today rule changes for its growing 2004 NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series. The NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series consists of 10 events in 2004 and will feature the biggest names in the sport compact drag racing scene.
"The NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series saw tremendous growth and first-class competition in 2003," said Jim Skelly, racing competition director, NHRA. "Next year's rule changes are designed to further stimulate competition, and promote consistency among the different combinations within each class, in 2004 and beyond."
Among the rule changes for 2004 include engine displacement, turbocharger and body guidelines. The complete 2004 NHRA Sport Compact Rulebook will be available online within the next few weeks.
Entering its fourth season in 2004, the NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series has seen steady growth in the number of competitors participating in the series, along with vast improvements in consistency and on-track performance from the race teams. The series, which has seen increases in participation from both traditional and non-traditional sponsors, also has experienced an increase in fan attendance each season, along with continued expansion in the lifestyle arena.
The NHRA, with headquarters in Glendora, Calif., is the premier sanctioning body for sport compact drag racing. It presents the 10-race, $2.1 million NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series at nine tracks across the country from March-October. The series features the largest guaranteed sport compact event purse of more than $26,000 paid out per event. In addition, the series offers a year-end championship fund of $144,000, along with more than $1.7 million in contingency payouts. The series is highlighted by its five championship classes (Pro RWD, Pro FWD, Modified, Turbo Magazine Hot Rod and Honda Tuning All Motor).

Pretty sure they OK'd fender cutting as long as it follows stock lines, people were complaining about aftermarket fenders being ok, but cutting being illegal.

Re: 2004 NHRA rule revisions HERE (SIXTYdashONE)
Looks to me the Bugs are making out in All Motor. 2.6L RWD @ 1725 lbs?? 
-75lbs over 2003
Scheepers/Padilla can take off 100 lbs next year. They took 50 away from the RWD rotories and 50 away from the aftermarket trannies.
Ahh well ........

Re: (fabman)
We're going to run the new car at NOPI and the old one at NHRA. NOPI has approved it and doesn't have a restriction on tire size. Think about it, we plan to make about 1400hp. Now, would you ever consider putting a 31 x 11 tire on a pro rwd car with 1400hp? We have the disadvantage of weight transfer, a big disadvantage, and they want us to run a smaller tire than a rwd car? If anything, we should run a bigger tire!

If I read this correctly the PRO-RWD does not have a tire rule, whereas the PRD-FWD does...?
What size tire were you looking to run Tony?
