Somehow NHRA called it 3.25% which still makes it an E car.

You have to go 1.25 under to get 4.25%. Every additional 0.05 under gets you an additional 1%. All the way up to 1.999 under getting you 18.25%.

So, he should get 4.25%. Paul, did they announce 3.25% already? Normally it's on Tuesday. If so, I guess they could claim they "adjusted" it due to altitude.

It's now at 327, what was it before?

Tom that brown vega wagon with 1.7 miles ended up two blocks from me. I helped them air up the tires so they could it on there trailer. Tom

It was 316. It should be 330. I am sure it will be corrected.

Larry is reaping the benefits of laying down good money for a fast car. I don't however, agree with what he is doing.

IMO he should back it off some, now that he has gotten an instant hit on the combo, but he paid the money and he can do what he wants.

Our Mustang is getting close, but the way the HP keeps going up, it could be a A or B car before long.......

And I know that will make a lot of people happy.

Too bad we all can't get 35 hp taken off our Combo's. Right Greg?? LOL

You'd be just fine in A or B, if an LS1 can go 10.0s in B you should be able to go well into the 9s.

It's been corrected this morning...now reads 330 (4.25%)

Kevin Stubbs is trying to convince me to do the same thing. Seems like a lot of work for an old fat man!! I am considering it though. All I need is a transmission, bell housing, clutch, shifter, linkage, clutch pedal ......Oh and a pocket full of cash!
