Updates to ClassRacerInfo web site

Dwight Southerland · 01-01-2016, 02:30 PM

1/1/2016 New stuff for ClassRacerInfo web site!!
All the changes from NHRA in the class guides (new power factors) and tech bulletins are in the database.

The new F/SAA class added to classifications. (I guessed on the indexes since NHRA has not published them yet.)
Fixed some bugs that kept from calculating correct classifications when multiple factors were applied to different bodies of the same model car. This especially affected the 1971-74 Mopar 340 cars.
Added panel background coloring for the classification grids so that all the data for a particular engine is easier to visualize on the chart.
Added the dates of the power factors to the classification grid.

Currently working on:

A way to show odd power factors for the same engine like ram air options, the 63-64 Chevrolets with differences for the WCFB and Rochester carbs, the Chev 454s with the 236 vs the 292 heads, and others.
Adding text information for engines and cars. (more on this later!)

Enjoy!!

Dwight,
You are punishing yourself to benefit others. Looking through the classification guides can be a long and arduous task. My hat is tipped off to you!!
