Default 2015 NHRA - new class run it out no HP

Be careful what you wish for.

2015 South Central Challenge ( Texas Motorplex )

Stock\Super Stock Combo-Stock and Super Stock will be able open up their combinations and set national records without horsepower being factored. .500 full tree, dial your own bracket format.

Why just 1/8 mile?

What's the big deal. You can't get HP at any national open. If you want to set a 1/4 reacord the fall or Dutch classic is the place to do it.

Not a fan. Every race everywhere should count for hp. Period. This is one of the reasons soft combos stay soft. Look how long some of the soft combos have held records. Part of why the ahfs is so slow to correct is so many instances where it doesn't apply.

I am going to guess because it is run in conjunction with our normal bracket race which is run 1/8mile. I can't say they don't prep it quarter mile because the 1/4 mile clocks are on for our time trials but after that we run 1/8mile eliminations. I would rather run the national open as 1/4mile and our bracket program as 1/8mile. Looks like I will have extra classes to race that weekend

Max,

Since it's 1/8 mile and mother's day weekend, I doubt many will set records or attend for that matter as far as stock and super stock goes. Unless they allow 1/4 mile records to be set then run race in 1/8 mile format. A National open event should be 1/4 mile (NHRA does not run stock and super stock 1/8 mile and most racers like 1/4 mile that run stock and super stock). Also, a national open would be better set either at the end of the year in November or January or February when the weather is ideal for setting records.
