Would it be true then, that if you set a record, you will get an automatic horsepower adjustment?

Re: Ooops! Somebody Just Got HP!
 

only if you go faster than 1.25 under the index.

T/SA index 14.40.You set the record at 12.16.you're 1.24 under.You get record but no hp.BUT,if i understand correctly,at 1.00 NHRA looks at all the runs for your engine combo,I think still body specific,and your combo can get hit depending on what the class average is.

Re: Ooops! Somebody Just Got HP!
 

Correct. It has to be1.25 with an O under.
We went -1.246 on the V/SA backup run (no hp), but the record is 1.25 under (14.25), because they go by the second digit on records.
And that looked like I knew what I was doing , but really ,it was s**t luck.

Re: Ooops! Somebody Just Got HP!
 

Regarding this and HP, Im a little confused, I have heard the "horror" stories like Art Leong getting smacked with it by the truckload.

What is the MAX they can add at once ?

Is there Instant HP trackside and what does that take ? As well how much is it, and additionaly are you then up for review and able to get smacked again all because of the same run ?

Re: Ooops! Somebody Just Got HP!
 

Campolito and Marshburn are a two man wrecking crew on HP for the Impala SSes.
Speaking of wrecking a record:
Artie was hit over the head with HP because he went around 2.00 under at Atco.I was there.We had a good laugh about it because it was his intent to go that fast to rub it in to someone who accused him of bombing the record,when in fact the accuser used to do the same thing when he was actively racing Stock.

Please explain ? My Muffler fell of in Virginia on the truck Ive been smelling raw burn all the way back.

I think I know what you are saying, but thinking and knowing....well...

I also thought I knew the words to "Secret Agent Man" when I was about 14 but I couldnt understand why an Asian man needed to be secret....:)

Chris,open the window on the truck.I think the fumes are getting to you.

Re: Ooops! Somebody Just Got HP!
 

Chris, any car that runs more than -1.250 under it's sea level Index receives a HP or Index adjustment Monday morning. HP increase is 3.25% (HP rating at the time x .0325 = new HP rating on Monday). Index adjustment (for SS/AS, SS/AM, etc) is .15 seconds.

Re: Ooops! Somebody Just Got HP!
 

no record ? does this mean no teardown just instant horsepower?
