Runs of 1.300 or more under the index will be reviewed and adjusted following the event.

This is done to better react to any out-of-line indexes or under-horse-powered combinations. Runs at all NHRA National, Sports National, and LODRS events, including those at altitude-factored racetracks, are included in the 1.300-second-or-more-under analysis. No runs made during exempt events, National Opens, test and tune, time trials, 1/8th mile events or races within a race (i.e. Jegs Allstar eliminations, Stock / Super Stock Combos or other races that are not part of a season long points championship) are included in any review. Adjustments are rounded up to the nearest full horsepower even if the fraction is below 0.5 horsepower. As an example, 2.15 horsepower is rounded to 3 horsepower.



Parameters used for reviews of 1.3xx runs are the same as stated above.

The decision to adjust horsepower or to reduce the index will be at the discretion of the NHRA Tech Department.

Could This Happen?

Racer X is sick of getting outrun in Class. His car always looses to the
396/375 Camaro in B/SA, so a plan is devised by someone with plenty of money.

1. Buy a good B/SA 69 Camaro that is a good stock class car.
2. Build a big Big Block, 502?, with all the correct parts showing, heads, carb, manifold.
3. Put car together and secretly go test to get performance high enough to ruin combination for a lifetime.
4. Get some local racer to enter the car at a local points race where AHFS will be in play.
5. Have car pass inspection before first run, weight, fuel, safety belts, and helmet
6. First run blast the index load up and go home
7. Monday AHFS gives 396/375 6.25% additional Horse Power

My question is could NHRA keep this from Happing? With how the rules are written now I do not think so. Our category needs some protection from NHRA Tech Department. Maybe a check list to follow when runs of 1.3 seconds or quicker are made during events when the AHFS is in place.

The answer will take some thinking and some work
