Push out what a few cars that think stock and super is easy ..like bracket racing
Back when they lowered the indexes I had bought a ss/bs Monte Carlo
Car ran 3 tenths under
Then the next year I’m 1 under guess what a geinus like me did I bought a motor and a 3 speed trans
Class Racing not for the WEAK

Billy can you find me a cheap 1970/ 402 that I can run only .65 under to help get my average down. Thanks BP

[Mike Gray]

If I can’t run more than .65 under when I get my first stocker finished do you think I could get the fast cars to put up my entry fees to keep the average down? Lol

[Larry Hill]

If you can’t run at least -.650 under at a race it will have zero affect on the average. It will be like you were never at the race according to the AHFS.

Exactly. I may stop on the BB car and throw in the slow parts on the refresh SB to run .750
Sounds fun.

Oh, okay I’m catching on to the new AHFS if I run BETWEEN .650 - .850 under they will like me and over .850 under and they will send me hate mail. Do I understand this correctly that my combo in B can affect other cars from AA - C because it’s in the same engine family even though the engine specs may be different, like different heads and valve sizes? I must have skimmed over the paragraph below too quickly.

“1st screening: The average for all vehicles running the particular engine family combination being reviewed is included in this screening. The review process will average runs in ALL classes TOGETHER with the same transmission type & the same body platform.”

[Tom Meyer]

Assuming transmission means auto or manual? I was going to sort out my SS combo with my trusty PG vers a three speed that some say are 15 quicker. But I still could take the hp hit. Now what about wagons, is a chevy II wagon going to be the same platform as a 2dr ht? Is the malibu wagon the same as 2 door car. Tom

[Billy Nees]

Tom, I'm pretty sure that they go by wheelbase. If the hardtop and wagon have the same wheelbase then they're considered the same.
