Based on E3 Spark Plugs NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series Presented by J&A Service performance numbers from the last portion of 2018 through the first race of 2019, the NHRA Technical Department is reducing the minimum weight of Nitrous assisted entries with a lock-up converter from 2,450 pounds to 2,425 pounds. All other minimum weights will remain the same: (Nitrous-assisted without a lock-up converter - 2,425 pounds), (Supercharged entries - 2,600 pounds) and (Turbocharged entries - 2,650 pounds). This rule change will go into effect immediately. NHRA reserves the right in the future to make additional rule changes to control performance and maintain parity in the category.

Rickie Smith rule?

He is probably pissed since he been asking for a break then gets it after building a turbo setup.

If you watch the interview of Rickie, he straight up said, Shit is gonna change once he switched to turbo.

Agreed. Good thing he still has his nitrous car. Balooshi qualified 7th in his nitrous car at Gainesville, as his turbo car wasn't ready yet. Remember the last time Rickie built a turbo Pro Mod Car, he ended up selling it to Dan Stevenson. Just sayin'.

I just hope the nitrous cars stay in the mix, a big part of Pro Mod’s appeal is the 3 types of combos. It’s tough, over time racers will gravitate toward the best overall combo.
