Hey guys, tried going to NHRA site and seeing what they had that could get me understanding it all, couldn't find my answers and KNOW that you gents have them.

1. the one I'm most curious about first: what do the a/gas, b/gas and so on stand for? I cannot find this on the NHRA classes information.

2. I see a class for cars that retain almost all original stuff, and class for cars that have lots of mods but original block, and unlimited running at 10.9 IIRC. Where does the aforementioned /gas groups fall?

3. all this tech inspection stuff, wow, where is the complete list?

4. what do the safety harnesses attach to?

I am asking all this as my uncle just bought us another project, which is an almost running 70 nova with full roll cage, bbc, t400, currie 9" etc. has a bucket seat out of some car it looks like. We have no plans, currently, of taking it to the track, just having fun, cruising to the hamburger stand etc.

BUT I would like to do things with the future in mind, I'd like to eventually start going to the track and hopefully give my daughters a chance when they're older (3 and 2 now, lots of time left).

5. do they really make you tear down the engine after a win? I think I'd rather not win if I had to do all that work.

6. do tracks have a practice time where you can practice the burnout, staging and start? so you don't look like an idiot when it comes time to really race?
