Tuesday Tech Question

Question:

I am currently building an altered that I plan to run in A/AP Competition Eliminator.  Are there any specific rules for the amount of distance between the front of the car and centerline of the front wheels?

Comp Altered Andy,

On section 12, page 3 of the 2012 NHRA Rulebook it states, “the maximum front-end overhang for the 1994-1995 Chevrolet Lumina is 47.375 inches, 1994-1997 Pontiac Firebird is 50 inches, 1998-2002 Pontiac Trans Am/Firebird is 46.375 inches, and 1998-2002 Chevrolet Camaro is 46.25 inches.  For all other applications, the maximum is 45 inches.
