    Does anyone know what the NHRA stock classification is for the 3.8?

    From what I have found on line the IHRA follows the NHRA stock classification system (my local track is IHRA sanctioned).

    However, I cannot find a formula to determine what class the 3.8 GenCoupe would run in.

    I found an answer.

    I spoke to a NHRA tech on the phone. He explained that each auto manufacture works directly with the NHRA to submit certified specs on all of the manufactures vehicles.

    As he explained it, the NHRA stock classification guide defines each class by assigning a base category, which represents the ratio of a vehicles shipping weight, CID and horsepower etc that factors a base-line, which positions a vehicle within its proper weight class break.

    The NHRA has never received these certified specifications from Hyundai on any of its vehicle lines.

    So no Hyundai’s have an assigned NHRA class in their rulebook.

    His short answer is to just show up and they will handicap the vehicle. If the ET is below 13.99 a helmet is required and there are no octane restrictions.
