There is a pulley size spec, but not a "boost" spec that I know of. (And of course there is a blower size spec.)

I don't care what they spend on the cars but I think they should have to show up to the track with a 15 year old Dually and an open trailer and a ten speed bike for the pits lol j/k.
If its going to be anywhere near the spotlight(TV) its going to be giant dollars to compete.

I show up to NMCA with a 95 dually. But I do have a 16 year old enclosed trailer. Doug You're rich. Elizabeth Warren is looking for you.

I know I’ll probably get stoned for this but I used to go the the NMCA finals every year at Memphis. Barry Poole would drive His 10 year old Ford pickup down from Canada pulling his open trailer with his stick shift 1968 Cobra Jet Mustang on board. He carried a small tool box and a floor jack and a few spare parts. He came year after year parking in a sea of motor homes and fancy enclosed trailers. Year after year he would go home with all the marbles. It’s hard not to root for the little guy.
Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.

I see the guys on Classracer whining about how much it costs to enter an NHRA national event. Last time I was at a divisional with Mike Jeffrey, Mime had about the only single rear wheel truck on the place. I don't think I saw 2 open trailers. Duallies, motorhomes, toters, and stackers seemed to be well represented though.
