Not picking on anyone specific here, but this is an LS1 combo that's 40 hp less in this body style.. All those strikes ,and no HP.
This illustrates one of the problems with this system.

I like this idea. Use the fastest time of each car at a event as the data

Have you sent in your request for a horsepower reduction on your combo??

NEED!
Are you related to the John Irving that was qualified #15 in SS and #24 in stock at Pomona? I see the stocker went .5 under. Is the SS/KA combo the same as the #15 qualified SS/KA???

You guys need to move further south so you race during the winter and you won't have time to sit around constructing theories and ideas on the internet!

Regardless of index changes. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. The fastest Turkeys I know! LOL!! The best people, are racing people.

Re: Index Change Rumor
 
So you want to lower the index so cars that are around 2-3 tenths under will have a harder time to qualify. That makes a lot of sense. Why not lower them 5 tenths so you can eliminate more cars. Or how about we lower the field size to 16 or 32. Raise the quota to 8 grade point or more. That should do it.

You people are going to kill sportsman racing with your own egos. But it is a performance based category. Guess I'll have to work harder on my stuff or buy a newer car. Either that or write a letter to Glendora with a special gift enclosed. And if I don't like it I can go bracket racing or get a Ford with a 302.

Racing used to be so much more fun.

That's as about as obvious as it gets when it comes to a combo that's way under factored.

Not saying mine needs hp off,even though it has been beat on for 50 yrs,there are some fast cars with my combo.I can not afford the "good" stuff and still be able to go racing,it's one or the other and I chose to go racing with my money.I just do not understand what will help things by lowering the indexes,the fast guys will still be the fast guys...Victor Penrod

Remember Ron, it’s just a rumor !!
We shall see what happens soon enough.
You should write a letter and ask for HP off of your combo, can’t hurt to ask.
But please don’t buy a Ford, lol....
Your car is unique, just like the driver.....
