Re: New hp revisions?
P.S. I almost forgot my 66 Corvette in E/SP (remember that class?) but it was not a dedicated serious effort. I was still "trapped" in Uncle Sams grips while stationed in Ft. Knox Ky so I have raced at Ohio Valley and Hardinsburg U.S. 60, an outlaw track in Louisville (forgot the name), and Lexington dragway also in Ky.

If you take the slow guys out of each class and keep all the fast ones with rules there will still be better combos, there's no way to even the playing field unless you give everyone spec cars ala NASCAR, how fun would that be? |

I want someone to answer what good it will do to adjust the trigger fir hp or the index? Makes no difference if they add .50 tenths to the SS/IA index to me because a car like Bryan Worner's will still be 1.00 faster than me on most days lol! |

Re: New hp revisions?
Chevy rods in a Ford? Where do you come up with this stuff? How about Chevy "sized" rod bearings not a Chevy rod. WTH SB Chrs. have been using the Chevy "sized" rod bearings for years also. No one says anything about them.....Learn to read a set of mic's then you too may pick up some et.
Smitty, email me please..Dee9275@yahoo.com

Re: New hp revisions?
There will always be a difference of opinions on Indexes, triggers, AHFS, etc. One fact is the current Indexes are soft. Not opinion, fact. I looked up the Indexes from 1990, and compared to todays, some Indexes were as much as two tenths quicker in 1990. Since then a multitude of rule changes have come about, allowing parts and stuff that were not legal in 1990, cars have picked up several tenths since then, and the Indexes have become slower? Doesn't make much sense. All the Indexes of today could stand to lose some (although I would leave SS/AM as is, and maybe SS/AH). Two tenths or so would be a good start. Although, there starts the argument. If you lower the Indexes, say, two tenths across the board (five tenths is to much, IMO) and leave the triggers (-1.15 twice for a look and -1.40 for automatic), then that plays into the fast guys/girls hands...allowing them to run flat out with no, or reduced, penalties. If you lower the Indexes two tenths, and reduce the triggers to -.95 and -1.20, then you still have the same problem that some currently do not like, which is being unable to run flat out in Class Eliminations, or heads-up runs or setting records, without a potential penalty of HP adjustments. It would be hard to make an ideal scenario for the majority.
Here are the 1990 Indexes. SS/A 9.80 SS/B 10.00 SS/C 10.25 SS/D 10.35 SS/E 10.45 SS/F 10.55 SS/G 10.65 SS/H 10.70 SS/I 10.75 SS/J 11.00 SS/K 11.20 SS/L 11.40 SS/M 11.70 SS/N 12.05 SS/O 12.30 SS/P 12.60 SS/AA 9.85 SS/BA 9.95 SS/CA 10.15 SS/DA 10.30 SS/EA 10.45 SS/FA 10.55 SS/GA 10.65 SS/HA 10.75 SS/IA 10.85 SS/JA 11.10 SS/KA 11.35 SS/LA 11.65 SS/MA 11.95 SS/NA 12.25 SS/OA 12.50 SS/PA 12.75 GT/A 10.10 GT/B 10.20 GT/C 10.30 GT/D 10.45 GT/E 10.60 GT/F 10.70 GT/G 10.85 GT/H 10.95 GT/I 11.05 GT/J 11.15 GT/K 11.25 GT/L 11.40 GT/M 11.50 GT/AA 10.25 GT/BA 10.35 GT/CA 10.50 GT/DA 10.60 GT/EA 10.75 GT/FA 10.90 GT/GA 11.10 GT/HA 11.15 GT/IA 11.30 GT/JA 11.45 GT/KA 11.55 GT/LA 11.65 GT/MA 11.75 SS/AS 9.75 SS/BS 9.85 SS/CS 10.30 SS/AM 9.40 SS/BM 9.60 SS/CM 9.80 SS/DM 10.00 SS/EM 10.20 SS/FM 10.60 SS/GM 10.60 A/S 11.09 B/S 11.29 C/S 11.47 D/S 11.62 E/S 11.76 F/S 11.90 G/S 12.00 H/S 12.09 I/S 12.28 J/S 12.43 K/S 12.67 L/S 12.81 M/S 12.95 N/S 13.05 O/S 13.19 P/S 13.47 Q/S 13.76 R/S 14.05 T/S 14.48 U/S 14.77 V/S 15.39 W/S 15.96 A/SA 11.17 B/SA 11.37 C/SA 11.51 D/SA 11.66 E/SA 11.80 F/SA 11.95 G/SA 12.10 H/SA 12.24 I/SA 12.38 J/SA 12.53 K/SA 12.73 L/SA 12.82 M/SA 12.96 N/SA 13.11 O/SA 13.26 P/SA 13.54 Q/SA 13.89 R/SA 14.13 T/SA 14.67 U/SA 14.96 V/SA 15.71 W/SA 16.80
