Here's a better picture of what's inside...the original NHRA weight/hp factors...here's a page from the Mercury section that I scanned for my buddy Brian Stefina, who runs a '58 430/400hp Monterey in Pure Stock... that car was THE most powerful car of the '50s!

Rob,
Is there any other information in the book other than weight/hp factors? Such as allowable engine specs/parts per class?

Verne

Bob,
I already have all the rule books from '59 into the '70s.....thanks.

Nope, this is just the guide with hp/weight factors which determine in which class each make/model/engine/hp/trans will run...
