    THE RULES ARE THAT YOU CAN'T RUN ANY RATIO LESS THAN A 2.90.
    yOU DON'T NEED TO ADD DRAG TO THE CAR. tHE DUAL ELEMENT WINGS WORK WELL ENOUGH.

    Larry; No quotes here as I have CRS, but I believe in 1969 one of my AA/GD with mag blower case, M/T 8 3/4" mag carrier, mag motor plate & body and holes in anything somewhat safe weighed 1290 with fuel and oil, no driver (he weighed 145).

    Thanks for the answer, I knew you would have a good one even with CRS !
    I was asking the question in regards to Woodchips post about Prudhomme's Fuller Top Fuel car weighing 1280 # . I should have known it was possible with Snakes money, or someones Eh? Guess CRS has caught up with me too. Happy Trails, Larry....................
