How long are you on the stop?

JMatt · 12-12-2010, 09:57 PM

With all the talk about changing the index in the super classes, and all the discussions about high mph cars being on the stop for long times - at the same time other people say they couldn't run if the index was lowered, I'm just wondering how long everyone is on the stop for a "typical" pass?

I'm usually 3.100 +/-. (S/G)

My car ran 9.44 all out with a 200 cfm larger card for the Unleashed races this year. I don't have a throttle control that controls the throttle. My foot is against the throttle stop all the way down the track. The throttle stop is a bolt that is under the throttle pedal that prevents you from tearing the throttle ball off the carb. I believe the throttle stop is required by NHRA under the pedal.

To long. Typically from 4.7-4.9 to run S/ST.

My car goes 8.80's @ 151. For SST I have 4 teens in the box to go 145-146.

I voted to leave the indexes alone ~
