My example: A Div.4 V6 car in N/SA goes out early in the season and makes two runs a second under, plus a couple of -.90 runs, then puts it away.
A div. 7 car in O/SA makes many runs in the -.50 under range in the same half year.
Another Div 7 car that runs P/SA, was in S/S at the time.
All three cars and classes get 3 hp. The average was not. .85 under. This happened twice now.
When inquired about, Pat C says you're wrong...( good bye , click)

So, can anyone explain this, besides the obvious?
The same thing is about to happen to the LS1 corvettes. The B/SA and C/SA averages are ok, but the D/SA average is high. They will get HP and will be in A/SA next year. I didnt do the math on the overall average because it is really a moot point to do that.

If you are in fear of getting hp, make sure that all the classes the car can fit into are under an 85 average and then you are good.

Exactly -

Pat did not say this when it counted for us.

Those of us who have received HP - know how it works.

Back in the day when we were fast, we were told you can hurt others but they can’t help you.
If you don’t like it, race somewhere else.

Years later and Len Imbrogno’s SIMPLE AHFS (his words), are still confusing and a moving target

It doesn't take long when it effects you to get educated on it real quick! Lol

I guess it pays to be proactive and keep up with class and engine averages of your combination on a week to week basis. As often said "The best surprise is no surprise".

Yeah, another good reason for racing one-off, odd-ball stuff.

So, if I had a couple of .9's under and there was other runs of .5's under
(for my combo) , as long as the average is less than .85 all SHOULD be good??
TK
Just to add to this conversation, any runs of .850 under and you can not be granted a HP decrease for the next two review periods.

And good reason to NOT race killer expensive engines loaded with aftermarket blocks, aftermarket heads, etc. when a good homebuilt engine does the trick. Screw Indy and their .85 + under qualified fields. NHRA does not check a 1/4 of them for legality anyway
Make the adjustments on HP kick in at .50 under instead of 1.20 under !
