Re: Horsepower on tuesday
C'mon....guys. Man, it's pretty damn simple to me. These Lane guys are smart. And they knew if they waited long enough the heat in all of the engine and surrounding metals would cool, adding lots of oxygen molecules to it thus making the car heavier and la-la, make weight.
Really. |

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
You can't help to think how this whole deal would turned out if it was a 396 Camaro that was involved, it would probably have been a 50/50 situation on here

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
Does this have anything to do with what's going on here?

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
That is because last year I let them know that the 1973 has a different body and , intake manifold .I asked them to separate the 1974 and 1973 corvettes.. They answered me saying not only are the body and intake different but the 73 has different head. Now after getting the horsepower increase I wrote and reminded them that last year they separated us in the year end stats. This was there answer. With the stroke of a pen they made the parts legal on the 1974.

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
Once again a -1.20 run with no tear down (Thanks Div 6 for confirming you are the weakest div of the 7). Why is it so hard to check spec's and make sure the combo is 100% right after some earns hp for a combo NHRA? If I had that combo I would protest Lane the next race just on principal and the works rod piston,everything.
NHRA Runs of -1.20 or faster should be automatic tear down NO MATTER WHAT LBS THE CAR CROSSED THE SCALES AT. NHRA Runs of -1.00 should be a mandatory carb/throttle body check and casting numbers. This will stop a lot of the BS problems we have now in SS and STK on heads up runs I guess if NHRA is not going to do this the group of racers in D3 will try and keep our div some what on the up and up(More protest to come).

Re: Horsepower on tuesday
I thought that was the norm if you didn't tear down you were out for a year and when you came back you had to tear down then,I didn't know they ever changed that ?
