NHRA ADDS 75 LBS TO PM NITROUS CARS | Competition Plus

The NHRA's tech department has made adjustments to the nitrous combination within Pro Modified, adding 75 pounds. This is a second adjustment to the parity since NHRA brought the supercharger overdrive down from 16.5-percent to 14.55, and the turbochargers from 36 to 33 pounds of boost back in July.

The NHRA giveth. The NHRA taketh away.

I think the NHRA (and probably the majority of the Pro Mod community) is a bit tired of being gamed by Mr. Smith.

you can't ever make a heads up class fair to all parties when there are multiple power adder or engine combo's involved. PDRA did it right. split the cars up into separate classes.

What's interesting is that Pro Boost in PDRA has gone down to 8 car fields, while Pro Nitrous is 16 cars. And both classes are running almost the same ET's. I kinda wonder why they just don't put the 2 classes together. That would be interesting.

The rules for PDRA are written so that the qualified field size depends on the total number of entries for the weekend. They require at least 13 entries to use a 16-car ladder (i.e. a large enough field so that there is no semifinal bye). Fewer than that goes to an 8-car ladder (or 4-car, like in the later days of PX). I think there would be a revolt if the classes were combined for anything other than exhibition. I've heard in the past that the participants have no interest in doing that.

Thanks Brad. I love watching PDRA, even if it's just on the computer.
