1.40 under index HP adjustments
 

Didn't the Shelby of Adkins go 1.40 under the index at Maple Grove last weekend? I'm just wondering why the new HP isn't posted somewhere on the NHRA/Lucas Page.

Does this also change the factor for this combo?

Have I just been missing it or, has NHRA quit posting the HP/Index changes after a run of 1.40 under the index?

Goto the Classification guide the 428 / 355 (stick only) combo is now rated at 370. Double check that because i am at work and cant get the guide to load here. But i know they updated it on Monday. The new adjustment is in yellow. later

Dusty, I haven't looked but they normally are posted on the the Lucas site the Wednesday following the weekend the run occurred. It should also be in the classification guide by now. Jim

WOW...go 1.40 under and get 3 HP....if you have a GM and go 1.20 under, you get 5 HP.....my math

sorry, I stand corrected.....thought the old Stick HP was same as the Auto...just goes to show how screwed up the horsepower factors are.

Lower the 30 year old index...say .30 - .50 and lets get back to class racing, the way it should be...........

Hadtobethere, your reason for lowering the indexes is what? Now give a good reason not an agenda

Tony, I thought it was very clear....the indexes are 30 years old, it is time to get real and put racing back into Stock/SS. If you can't run at least .20 to .30 under, you need to either re-think about changing your sport or get to work. No one is forced to run any combo that could never run .20 to .30 under....and no one said that drag racing was a cheap sport to get into.....so, if class racing is a bit hard or expensive, start with bracket racing at the local track and decide where, how, and why....many class racers started that way. Class racing (Stock/SS) was always performance rewarded and it needs to return to exactly that.

Amen. Best post I have read in quite a while.

Rather than changing the indexes,

What if they just starting giving head starts off of them rather than allowing Dial Ins and the first one to the stripe wins? Would be a lot simpler right? And give every round that heads-up feel!

But I bet the car counts would drop even faster than they will with $8.00 a gallon diesel.
