I still can not believe most of you guys are unwilling to admit there are many combinations in the older cars which are at least 200 HP underrated.

I have mentioned the 425/427 before but I could list 20 others - pick any combo that can run a second under

You guys just want to complain about being 300 HP off

Give it a rest - I know it is tough back there in the cold and snow but out here in Los Angeles it i a beautiful sunny day - temperature 85 degrees

Enjoy

:-) peace

How you figure that?.. I think we have done more...... We do have a class for them . As i recall according to a lot of the posts about the new cars, that is what seems to be the answer by other racers (have a class of their own ). We have had a few Dp's run some this year and i did not see a negative post from the new or old car drivers/owners about what class they ran over here . My hands may be tied to a certain degree but i surely am not sitting on them....and my ears work fine....We did not drop the indexes 3 tenth to solve the problem either.

Actually I was smoking up some BBQ chicken - not as good as Jeff's Cajun but it will have to do.

Are you guys talking about actual dyno flywheel HP or some made up HP that is some where between reality and what NHRA makes it after the factory gives a starting point.

I will say it again we all know actual dyno flywheel HP is around 1.5 times the NHRA factored HP

The older cars have had years to get it right and they are still way off - the new ones will get there sooner than the old ones did and as soon as there are new classes to handle real HP everything will be fine.

Are you guys against 6, 6.5 and 7 lb classes - if so why? It would eventually get the new cars which are way faster than the old ones - separated.

If there were already classes to handle really high HP, fast cars this would not have happened

We could do what the federal government tried to do in the early seventies - stop making so much HP.


LOL

Well, in that case, you lift off the throttle and make sure your opponent is well down track, then you cross the centerline.

If they get factored beyond the 7.5 lb break then they need to be in S/S ONLY ! If you like to go faster and spend more than that $100,000 then jump in with both feet instead of just sticking your toe in a little bit. .
