If you would race NHRA Heritage A/FD [ blown alky or injected nitro] min weight is 1875, with driver.
I pay attention to the car weights, because NHRA has a max car weight, NO driver, at 1800 lbs for wire spoke wheels,
No min weight limit for 7.0 Pro, but blown cars or cars than might go 200 mph need two chutes.
