ED...it is too bad you don't run one of the 396/375 combos, if you did then the average would be way down, they need more dumb asses like you with this combo who would never be able to run fast to keep from getting hit.......

Mark,
Thats what I mean, we all get it, not just a car in A.
Hell, I hope they give it 25.....

Jim, 25??? Would you go fishing then, or what?

Mark,
I'm going fishing if they give us 5. This stupid system needs to be taken out.
I do see your point though, and Sean's, and I'm glad you brought it up like you did so we can all see what can be done to dodge the hit. We have to get the average down in A, or we are all going to get it.

Thanks,

NHRA's example is misleading. First, NHRA looks at all runs (not class) and body styles with the same motor to determine the average. If not above 1.00 then the look at the only the body style.

Westly detailed this to me when we got hit in Dec 07 with only two national events above 1.15 by someone with a different body style.

I'm just curious...you set up this plan, everybody agree's and somebody's ego get's in the way.Will there be a lynching (with all do respect to the Lynches that happen to run this combo)?
Maybe the AHFS can spin off into a business venture. You guys could band together and pay somebody to build a slug. That or you can all get new brake pads before the next race.

Mark, is it mathematically possible for the aluminum head average to be brought below 1 under based on what we run at Englishtown? Can it still be saved?

the body style statement is correct. One winter I had two stockers, both of which got hit by different body styles (before I ever made it down the track in either new car).

at that point an 84 pontiac firebird got hp for an 80 camaro (slightly differnt body styles and sizes?)

when I inquired about it, I do not believe I was ever given a rationale that I could understand.

bring back hot tubs & harleys...

I'm pretty sure it has to be the guys entered in B.
