No category features more variety than the Competition class . Dragsters, altereds, street roadsters, coupes, sedans, front-engine nostalgia dragsters, sport compact cars, and trucks. The engine combinations are just as diverse as the vehicles, from turbocharged four- and six-cylinder engines to Pro Stock-style V-8s and nitrous-oxide-equipped mountain motors. Most cars are classified using a formula that divides total car weight by cubic inches. Each class is assigned an index based on what a well-built car should run, and races are handicapped according to those indexes. (source – NHRA)

Competitionklassen är baserad på INDEX (INTE breakout). Detta tillåter handikapp mellan de tävlande när en tung bil med liten motor möter en lätt bil med stor motor. Först över mållinjen är vinnare. Comp har samma regler över hela Europa.
