With that being said if Nova gets HP why doesn't Corvette with LS1 get same HP as Firebird/Camaro ?????

LT1's took the hit, not the LS1's.

This isn't about nice young guys, nice family, great history, I'm with all of that and wish them all the happiness they are great people----- but if a win and a 1.20+ run doesnt get a teardown then why are we going to the trouble to be class racers ??? Its about CREDABILITY to class racing and class racers.......how does anyone get checked from here on out ???

If I'm reading this correctly, the demand is that there be a teardown after someone runs 1.20 or under hitting all-like combos

Since it has to be administered across the board, this is certainly feasible Friday, Saturday.....but a run on Sunday means that the racer (who may need to tow all night to get to work),will be late getting out on the road (who cares?) BUT MORE to the point, one or 2 tech officials need to stay (good luck on that) and that the track personnel would have to have some presence before securing facility. Don't see those two things happening.....I've seen tech exit before the end of a race: travel, pay, motel etc

Seal and tech next race?
Nope

Just sayin'

I Am With You Bobby Why The Nova And Not The Vette. The Nova Is A Box Compared To The Camaro. A Vette Is Shorter Lower And like A Plane.If One Get's It They All Should Get It. It Used To Be When I Had My Waggon After I Won The Cajun Nats They Gave Me Five And All Cars With That Motor Got Five. And After I Won The World Championship I Got Five And Every Olds With A 307 Got Five. Talk About HATE MAIL!!!!!!!!!!!! And I Was Torn Down Both Times. In Fact Five Times.

Randall, in the "old" days. Here in Div.4, they would seal your motor on Sunday after the race, then tear it down when you arrived at the next race. Winner and runner-up. I remember some DQ's from this procedure.

Sammy, the slow guys/bracket contingent want you to lay down and lose, rather than them work as hard as you did to get fast.

Jeff Teuton · 03-31-2015, 12:53 PM

Sammy, that was 27 years ago. Last century. In the distant past. I think even Bruce would agree, things are different now. And I got my old 8th grade English teacher to instruct you in grammar, spelling, capitalization, and issue a graduation certificate to move on to high school. I think Charlie Bob is in the spelling class also. It has been this way since AHFS was created or spawned with bad seed. Now there is an uproar. I got hit several times on that issue, and never a tear down. Maybe I am used to it. Maybe I like it. It's just shocking how soft the indexes are for these cars.

I know it is too late, but what do you think about only getting 1 round of qualifying in. This probably contributed to the 85 under rule not being met. Also I do not believe you could not say Sunday was not mineshaft conditions. I mean pro stock all running over 214mph and prostock bike almost 200 mph.
And I do have a dog in the fight as my combo got hit hard.
Hard to believe the LT1 has more hp than the LS1.
I am just glad that IHRA uses a little more common sense.
