ALSO, if you OR your opponent red lights, it’s OK to let off at the 1000 foot cone INSTEAD of hammering ANOTHER one second under run ….

Does this include my combo? Sorry, not quite familiar with all the combo lingo yet. I'm running an '80 model Malibu w/ 305 and q-jet. Y'all please don't kill my combo, I JUST got under the index. XD

Nevermind, I see that the #2 and #3 qualified cars at Belle Rose set sail with early 80s 305s. oof. I guess more power to them, just don't kill me too bad. The 305 got a ton of HP last year and it looks like they aren't done yet. Out of curiosity, the 80-84 305 camaro took a hit last year but the malibu didn't. I'm told it's all platform based, that's why I didn't get HP last year (before I finished the car mind you all). Would a malibu setting the world on fire hurt me, or only another station wagon? Would that be considered the same platform? idk how that gets decided.

Your Malibu wagon and Malibu coupe both have 108.1 wheel base so NHRA considers those the same platform.

The Malibu that just won Belle Rose made 6 one second under passes in K/SA and most definitely puts your combo in jeopardy.

The bad news is if your combo can’t run K/SA none of your runs will count to lower his average.

Hope this helps
Good luck this season

Not necessarily, Jim
You can get hp off a Chevy wagon, through 1 800 CRY NHRA, and not have it come off a 2 dr. HT...Same wheelbase!
