(1700-1800 lbs maybe?)
i know a few guys will get mad because they think im tring to take away this major accomplishment from the PR guys but its not what im tring to do...im simply asking an educated question... non the less they're still moving down there and moving very fast might i add, also doing it in a 90" WB car 8-)
There is a video floating around; it was taped at englishtown raceway before one of the 2006 NHRA races. All of the 3/4 starlets weighted the required weight...

So why ask the question in the first place. Does it really matter to you that much? You really believe someone on this thread or forum for that matter is qualified to answer that question.
hey Cris why is it that whenever i say something u always have to be an ******* and reply with BS...im begining to think its something personal u have with me, because it has happened before on here and over at ausrotary... imagine a man cant even ask a simple question on a public forum that was ment for questions & to help others that dont know better... if u dont have an answer to my question then dont flipping reply to the qestion cuz u only wasting bandwith...
its not that big of a deal to me if he runs 6's @2200lbs but my question was more to figure out the physics of drag racing and how come he ended up with a lower ET and run the same MPH & 60ft as previous times....******* trini's always looking for small talk wherever they go boy, weyy sah.... whatever the problem is , im sure we can work it out via the PM box...

You think that starlet is gonna be able to run that straight at 180mph+ if it weights 1700lbs? Also that starlet gotta weight around the 2020lbs because they have been testing for the Puerto Rico sportcompact championship series wich starts this sat and the required min weighfor 3/4 chassis 2 rotors is 2000lbs. So why test and tune under the required weight limit? makes no sence

Rules

In the NHRA sportcompact rule book, you have to weight 2000 min with

2 power adders (that is turbo+nitrous )and run a min of 80mm turbo inducer

wheel. So that translates to either more boost or juice to run some competitive

times.
