Default Re: Minus 76 Horsepower

Here's one that illustrates my point here.
1965 Cutlass. 330 /315 hp!!
Take 20% off like some of the slug combo's get (apologies to my Mopar friends)
Makes it what 252-253? Might be a decent combo with a 3 speed in J-K/SA.
Right now , it runs D/SA !
Don't like hp reductions? Fine, then nobody gets them. Nobody, ...even those guys who have lunch with NHRA brass.

Another thing with this combo. They don't have all the specs. Deck, carb size, etc., even on the 442's . Why the hell not? Those cars were raced brand new. See Pete Kost, Woodland /Andresen.
You guys think Farmer would let them show up at The Winters, with no carb specs?

So, for the few guys that read this drivel, ..if you think fair is fair, everybody gets 20 % or nobody, call NHRA. Ask them what happened to our proposal. Ask why certain combos get gobs of hp off, until they're no. 1 , and others have to fight for every 2-3 hp.
It's your association. At least it used to be.
