Does anyone know how NHRA calculates the car weights. These numbers sound like a stripped down six cylinder car.

The manufacturers submitted the shipping weight...NHRA then divided that weight by the advertised HP to arrive at there wt/hp factor...so you can reverse figure to find out the original submitted weight.
