Year End Stock, Super Stock Horsepower Adjustments Announced
11/19/2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The following Stock/Super Stock horsepower changes, produced by the Automatic Horsepower Factoring System (AHFS), were released November 19, 2007. This is the second of two scheduled horsepower adjustments for this year, and all changes are effective January 1, 2008. It should be noted that these changes include only results produced by the AHFS, and do not include written letters or requests. Those changes are listed separately.

The AHFS is a program based on actual run data compiled from all available runs at NHRA national events only. The data-based format provides the ability to calculate average performances for any class and/or engine combination in Stock and Super Stock. The trigger point for the system is 1.15-second or more under the respective index, and must be produced on two different occasions. Engine-combination averages and class averages are then computed and analyzed to determine if a change is warranted. The amount of change is calculated on a stepped percentage basis. Where applicable, adjustments will be effective for the specific car model or body style being evaluated. An automatic adjustment is instituted outside the two-time a year process when a 1.40 and under run is recorded during any NHRA event.

Any comments, thoughts, or requests must be sent in writing to: National Hot Rod Association; Technical Department; attn: AHFS; P.O. Box 5555, Glendora, CA 91740; or e-mail, AHFS@nhra.com.

Who out there is running an 83-85 5.0 Mustang in stock? I can't think of anyone who has qualified at the top of the ladder with one. Mark Yacavone's car is a 4 cylinder turbo. That is the only Mustang I can recall that will run that far under the index.

I didn't think there were very many of us either. The fastest I went was 1.11 under at Reading in some good air. I'm also curious as to when this happened. I asked nhra for the #'s. I've always kept my car safe in order not to do this. Obviously someone else wasn't!!!!!
