Jeff Lawrence up in D-1 has a damn fast 85 Mustang with the 285/324 combo with a C-4 that could more than hold it's own. I haven't seen him on the sheets this year but in the past few years he has run low teens with his car.
I don't want to hear about corrected runs, in my opinion thats crap. Put the number on the board. I am sure the day I saw Andy run that 9.07 had it been a perfect pass he would have ran in the 8's.
Since sea level corrections were mentioned; I don't understand why the NHRA adjusts the indexes for altitude tracks, allow them to set mind blowing records, and then they don't get hp? I know this horse has been beat but I don't understand why combos aren't hit. I mean there were a couple of cars this weekend that went 1.40+ under and nothing will happen to those combos yet if someone would do this at a sea level track it's instant hp. What's the difference, the indexes are adjusted to make things the same so all other rules should apply. This is something I think should change but I know it never will.
Does anyone know why altitude tracks are exempt but can claim hero runs for records?
