Car A & B both have the same engine specs. Car A is in a more aerodynamic, fiberglass body and weighs 315 pounds less. Car A is late on the tree Car A can still get there without running 1.20 under ( would you like point out how foolish that statement is? Please use numbers in your example) but chooses to hit the brakes and not take the win If car A does go get the win, and live up to the "baddest B/SA in the country" title portrayed on itself, then worst thing is it gets a 3.5% hit. Roughly the equivalent of 12 hp. I think there was a pink car that did it right in front of it Please show this fool how I'm wrong. Can the car not incur 3 ahfs hits before it is equal to the HP rating of the exact same engine in the other lane? I have it all wrong. I'm the one who doesn't understand how it all works. Only a fool would think that 315 lbs, with the same engine output, should have incremental times of 0.30 sec faster. But this fool does not know anything about incremental times Last edited by Kenny Boy; 03-22-2017 at 08:29 PM. |

I ain't real sure, but there's enough fertilizer in this thread to grow a couple of tons of spuds.

To keep this thread on track, you can plant potatoes when the soil is able to be worked, though growth will not occur until soil temp nears 50.
As to a B/SA Shootout, sounds great! No clocks and I'll hold the $$. (It is rumored some of my friends, relatives, and/or associates have vast experience in such things.) |

Either way they dug this one up too early. He ain't ripe yet.

![]() Your rationale is not correct! There is more to aerodynamics than just an assumption. A small frontal area and nose shape does not make a car instantly fast. I would like to know where you derive or the formula that 315 pounds less in weight is an instant -0.30 seconds faster. |

The difference between A/SA and C/SA index is exact 0.40 of a sec If you were to move anyone of these B/SA cars from A to C, you would be moving 350-400 lbs Safe to say, by the standard that we all race by, 100 pounds is about a tenth in these classes. Hopefully that wasn't too complicated |
