Horsepower on tuesday - Page 13

Isn't this the B/Modified car? Not much to tear down in that class. Valve layout, CID, weight and fuel check is about it. Modified cars with auto trans may be up to 5 percent or 250 lbs lighter than class (2750) and may be under class minimum,

Remember, these are the guys that built an electric super stocker that actually works. They have talent (and money)..

But the other issue was another racer that ran 1.20 under and passed the scales and did not get torn down.

Then a plethora of reasons/excuses as to why that never happened.

The Corvette dude did the right thing.
Passed tech and was awarded 10 hp.
1.20 is an awesome feat for that car/engine combination.

I don't think a Modified car gets a HP penalty. It would be an index change.

Neither Lane is at the Sonoma double divisional.

Did they check the drivers underwear after that -1.20 run, maybe that's where the weight went.
