I sure thought that SS/N 302" Mustang would get a couple.

Now how can anyone whine about nhra. All you have to do to make your car faster is whine to them and they pick it up for ya. How cool is that? Just the price of a stamp. No shop time, no big bucks. Never could figure that out.

The no changes are about 5 to 1 to changes in stock. So Harry I do not agree with that statement.

So you are saying the longer you race a combination you are making less power? I don't understand the reason for lowering hp unless it was to high to begin with which is very rare.

Harry I think you still feel that stock and super stock are a performance based eliminator. I do not agree with that. In the sixties they and early seventies it was based on performance. Today these eliminators mostly resemble brackets. Heads up in stock elimination account for between 2% and 12% of the total runs in the eliminator, less in super stock. Class is a side show to the eliminator. When class is run at a particular meet it does draw more entries. I am not saying there is no interest in class, just pointing out that is far less important than it use to be. The horsepower reductions are based on requests. Not everyone is going to be satisfied with the results.

Well said and that is whats wrong with stock eliminator. Too much shoe polish and not enough drag racing.

That little car is quick, isn't it? I have a friend that would like it to get about 50.

Chad Rhodes · 07-06-2010, 06:37 PM

so now the L88 corvette is rated 1 hp less than our 435hp combo in the same car. that's retarded, and I even wrote a letter to try and get a 5hp reduction.
