Good luck getting an answer through the "official" channel... I've asked the same question a couple of times... no response (since November)

I'm working off the 12 gasser rules....they're subject to change, but so is the class I'll enter.

I believe last year Hot rod said the rules would remain the same for 3 years, so there would be a solid foundation to build off of.

I guess you have to wear pants when you race this year. Bummer...

Hopefully with new rules in 014.
Heads Up Drag Racing on last day will be included in all classes.
10.80 index for Daily Driver
Car count would probably drop in half.
LOL
No way this is going to happen.
But thats Drag Racing.
Going to my Room.

Back again with the heads up in all Classes, so Bob does that mean, I can run 18s all week then win the heads up ( Rained out) Race the last day and win Class. I just dont see how you make guys run fast all week and push their cars. Thats no test at all of cars or drivers. Now if you want to average the RT and ET as a Total for the week I can see that.

[1956NY150]

I just like that side by side Drag Racing.

Where driving is a little more part of the Race.
Fastest two race last day. maybe two out three

[JeffMcKC]

I get it but its not billed as a race, its billed as finding the Fastest Street Cars in America. That's a ET based Event which is what we do.
