2019 NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Racing Series Rules Supplement
dreracecar:
2019 is the first time that has been in place for 7.0 but its been in A/F for 10yrs since the A/F dragster guys were whining that the A/F class could also include F/C and Altereds and they had a 10" advantage over the dragsters. Nothing like shortening the track by almost a foot
THE FRENCHTOWN FLYER:
Add a 10" fin out front???
dreracecar:
cut it off and no overhang. Front wheels start the race -- front wheel finish the race
THE FRENCHTOWN FLYER:
When I built my old Logghe altered I added a front wing. It was designed with side sponsons that were at the minimum legal height at rest, and maximum overhang. At the big end it added a lot of downforce. The anchor points were urethane bushings.
One time in the finals I ran a digger and the guy's wife was at the finish line watching. She swore - literally swore - that her hubby's front wheels were ahead of mine at the stripe.
Do tell?
Lots of races were won by 30" or less.
