I think this is even worse as they ran these times in the heat of the day ! I see Kens 428 wont make the cut. Its a shame as that is a neat car.

Incorrect. It's a AA only car with a factor below 7.5. Just like 08 CJs at 7.22 and 7.41

I see Bob Shaw is still playing the AHFS game at only .935 under.

Ed,

Detroit hasn't built a carbureted car since the mid 80s. So, you are wanting the class to be nostalgia Stock? EFI hardly ruined Stock. I love how you cry babies make blanket statements that don't really make any sense. One car was a run-away in the 90s, the LT-1, but there were plenty of other EFI combos that got spanked by carb cars.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, not only do they get HP on Monday but NHRA should also use the runs at the end of the period (Nov.- Dec.). So they should get a double wammy!

Andrew Hill · 09-01-2010, 07:36 PM

Now the 5.7 will only be 75+ hp short at 324, the 5.9 about the same at 284, and the 352 ford about 90 or so at 295. If things stay the way they are, none of the other combos will even get hit (besides Blossom's PT Cruiser). This will keep happening once a year, at Indy, so we still have 6-7 years left of this, maybe longer if the guys get smart about it. I think I'm going to get a chance to see the results of the first two E/SA cars in the 9's tomorrow...

I think if they get auto horsepower after they run a second under, they don't count it at the end of the year. So unless they go a second under twice after this weekend, they won't get hit at the end of the year.

Andew Hill,

You sound like a very seasoned veteran racer!
How long you been at it?

I'm hearing some people changed classes after the first qualifying shot.
