New HP effective today.

This should make some of the haters happy. LOL

3/22/2011

As the result of runs under the Automatic Horsepower Factoring System (AHFS) 1.20-second under policy at the JEGS.COM Cajun SportsNationals, the following changes have been made.

The horsepower rating for 09-10 Dodge Challenger Drag Pak, entries with the 360 cubic inch engine and a factory rating of 275 currently rated at 284, has been increased by fifteen horsepower, to 299 horsepower; for Stock Eliminator.

NHRA's 2011 Automatic Horsepower Factoring System outlines that any run of 1.20-second or more under the index will receive an immediate index decrease or horsepower increase. These changes are effective March 22, 2011.

Still isn't even close to enough
Wasn't one run 10.48? at 121?
The car is a C car
So now the poor guys that work their cars to death in F get to have a soft combo in the other lane that can run what 10.60s -.70s?
NHRA again you screwed up yes I know you don't care but you screwed up big time
Karma says what goes around comes around.....

Ed & Mark ,

As I have always said , becareful what you wish for ??? Who's mad Now .......? Mark , you are dead on ...

Ed Wright · 03-22-2011, 08:31 PM

Dave, I didn't wish for anything. Any class that car ones in for a while is going to be a thorn in somebody's side. It still needs some hp.
I have to race at least one in SS until they get factored correctly, and I'm going to go all I can to help them get there.

I still really don't think anybody "hates" these cars. I think all of them are cool! And so are most of the guys who run them. I just would like the cars better if they had a more realistic HP ratings on them! Jim

Oh and Jeff, I think you can about a hun out of her to run F.

I feel your pain. It ran 10.48 on one run and 125mph on another. One stout piece for sure! This is exactly what the guys in H have been putting up with for two years. I predict 10.28@127 in F.
The Mustangs are next! Jim

Like I posted somewhere, come on in. The waters fine. I got a few to sell. It's easy. Just ask anyone with one. You know, Bob Dennis told me last year he was so glad we came along so people quit beating on his combinations. Another year or two, the new stuff will outnumber the old. There is already talk about a Hemi Shoot Out using the 5.7,6.1 and 6.4. If racers want us out, the ask NHRA to establish a 6.0, 6.5, and 7.0 stock class and a 5.5 SS class so we can move up. I know Ford and Mopar are in favor of this and all it needs is a little push from the racers. See. Easy deal. There is no telling what Ford has in the future, and Mopar has some more coming.
