Correct. It has to be1.25 with an O under.
We went -1.246 on the V/SA backup run (no hp), but the record is 1.25 under (14.25), because they go by the second digit on records.
And that looked like I knew what I was doing , but really ,it was s**t luck.

Regarding this and HP, Im a little confused, I have heard the "horror" stories like Art Leong getting smacked with it by the truckload.

What is the MAX they can add at once ?

Is there Instant HP trackside and what does that take ? As well how much is it, and additionaly are you then up for review and able to get smacked again all because of the same run ?

Campolito and Marshburn are a two man wrecking crew on HP for the Impala SSes.
Speaking of wrecking a record:
Artie was hit over the head with HP because he went around 2.00 under at Atco.I was there.We had a good laugh about it because it was his intent to go that fast to rub it in to someone who accused him of bombing the record,when in fact the accuser used to do the same thing when he was actively racing Stock.

I think I know what you are saying, but thinking and knowing....well...

I also thought I knew the words to "Secret Agent Man" when I was about 14 but I couldnt understand why an Asian man needed to be secret....

Chris, any car that runs more than -1.250 under it's sea level Index receives a HP or Index adjustment Monday morning. HP increase is 3.25% (HP rating at the time x .0325 = new HP rating on Monday). Index adjustment (for SS/AS, SS/AM, etc) is .15 seconds.

not to rain on anyones parade, not making acusations either but if this happened to say any upper class stocker this board would be buzzing with discontent like it has in the past. guess no one cares cause it doesnt affect them ,good way to show we only care when its our combo. again not to say they werent legal but before you hit the horsepower you should be torn down to remove all doubt as you give horsepower to everyone and your legality should be checked
