NHRA hp updates
NHRA giveth and NHRA taketh away.
64-66 283 220hp stick super stock goes from 237hp to 230hp and now back to 237hp. I'm glad I didn't decide to change my wagon auto to a stick. Another example where they can't make up their mind |

Re: NHRA hp updates
I was told that if a combo ever got hit with HP then it could never be reduced. They probably realized they made a mistake and corrected it.

Re: NHRA hp updates
When did AHCS start? In 2009 the 283 Chevy II autos got hit to 235 hp that put in SS/JA and made my car not legal for L and to heavy for K putting me out of racing. Then at some point it was dropped to to 233 the same as GT that made them SS/KA. The same with the stick cars that were hit to 241 then dropped to 237, anybody that races a Chevy II getting them lite enough to get to min weight is very tuff. For them to say you cant go back there memory is not good. How many racers will this put out of racing, just does not make much sense. . Tom

Re: NHRA hp updates
"The decision to adjust horsepower or to reduce the index will be at the discretion of the
NHRA Tech Department. " This line from the AHFS rules is the key to all your questions. They can do anything they want regardless of the guidelines .
