    Hey guys, I'm not as up to speed on the Alky Dragsters or FC's for that matter as I'd like to be. But do the alky dragsters go by a Weight per Cubic inch formula? Or just Maximum Engine size and Min. Weight? Do both Combo's have the same weight break?

    Non-supercharged single engine,nitromethane: 4.80 pounds per cubic inch weight break; maximum displacement 470 cubic inches; 2,025 pounds minimum weight.

    Supercharged, single engine with Roots type supercharger, methanol: maximum displacement 528 cubic inches, minimum weight 1,950 pounds.

    Supercharged, single engine, with screw type supercharger, methanol: maximum displacement 466 cubic inches; minimum weight 2,025 pounds. Competitors may continue to use larger engines by adding 5 pounds per each additional cubic inch to the stated minimum weight.

    That's Nic, I don't understand why they have Cube limits if it's based on weight per cubic inch! If someone wants to run a larger motor, is that an advantage if they have to add 80-120 lbs.?
