James, it's my understanding that if there are two runs of 1.00 or faster under the index, that triggers something. And then the NHRA looks at the combination's average, giving H.P. at the end of the year. There are other guys running my combo and they have gone over a second under. So, I'm guessing that's what did it. I just wish I had known this was happening. |

Re: NHRA hp updates
I still say lowering the indexes makes more sense.

Re: NHRA hp updates
Not financially. It will just push/keep more out.

Re: NHRA hp updates
Push out what a few cars that think stock and super is easy ..like bracket racing
Back when they lowered the indexes I had bought a ss/bs Monte Carlo Car ran 3 tenths under Then the next year I’m 1 under guess what a geinus like me did I bought a motor and a 3 speed trans Class Racing not for the WEAK You gotta adapt

"slower camshaft designs along with "No Seal" piston rings."
I already have them. They don't work. ;-)
