65-85 under.

I know that runs under 65 under will no longer be counted in class averages but what does over 84.9 under get you?

If you were to trigger your combinations enough times for it to qualify for a "review" at the end of the year, there will be a horsepower increase if your average is faster than .849 under the index.

Well that sucks. Am I correct in assuming lots of people will be running slower than they used to on purpose?

Kdw1403 · 12-20-2022, 09:53 PM

How many runs over 84.9 under trigger a review?

none, it has to be 2 of 1.00 or more, until it gets to 1.300

I would expect there will be a lot of discussions in the Lanes before Heads up runs about running to 1,000 ft. The Q sheet will seldom see a 1.0 under #1 qualifer. There will be a bunch seperated by only a couple of thou in the 849 to 825 range.
Calling Stock Eliminator a performance class is in question with these changes.

Calling Stock Eliminator "Stock Eliminator" is in question also with all of the changes.

Alas, it's all we have!

lots of racers have been asking for the AHFS to be changed. Now there is a change. You can still run as fast as you want. You just have to pay the price with a HP hit if you go too fast. I think this is a better situation than lowering the indexes across the board again. I am not sure why the runs under .65 do not count toward the average. All runs except aborted or incomplete runs should be counted.
People complain all the time about 1000 ft racing. Run your cars all out and take the hit and then you can run the full 1/4 mile. Might take a few hits for some combos. People have been playing the game so long that they have gotten used to it as the norm.

So work on your combo , spend more $ to run faster and get a HP hit for your hard work and lighter wallet? The logic does not work. Why would any one do
this?
Yes the rules have gotten out of hand with what Stock was originally about but there the current rules. Change them to what everyone thinks is best then hire qualified tech inspectors to enforce rules, but Penalizing HP because of your NHRA rules is not the best way to equalize the playing field. (If that's NHRAs goal here).
I would be in favor of a personal index adjustment in heads up situations to level the field.
