Re: Stk/ss ahfs - Poll
 

You could use 1/8 mile and 1000' as part of your data collection, but you cannot just toss them in and use them.

Re: Stk/ss ahfs - Poll
 

Most of the people protecting their combination are not dumping at 1000'. The guys dumping at 1000' are working the ladder, either looking for a bye, looking for a heads up, or looking to avoid one. They may also be looking to race a particular person, or avoid a particular person.

Guys protecting the combination are doing a ton of things you'll never see. You will not find it all at the scales either, regardless of what people might tell you. Those who think keeping people from running heavier than the minimum of the next lower class will stop sandbagging do not know how to play the game.

Re: Stk/ss ahfs - Poll
 

OK. But, that still isn't a valid reason to not use the 660' or 1000' when factoring a combo.

Re: Stk/ss ahfs - Poll
 

That data is at best useful for adjusting the 1/4 mile data for averaging.

Re: Stk/ss ahfs - Poll
 

It would be interesting to see the results of this poll before the DPs and CJs came out. 1.0 under (then 1.30 under) was really fast back then (and still is).

One of the smartest responses ive read on here yet !! : )

Re: Stk/ss ahfs - Poll
 

1.0 sec under is a good run 1.20 is still good for a trigger for me.I know im not holding back next year never have never will balls out every run :)..

Re: Stk/ss ahfs - Poll
 

Jim I think 1.01 under gets you a review.....1.15 under gets you instant Hp. This gives "some room" we all know that their are conditions (aka tail wind, great track, ect) that well sometimes it's an accident ( the 327/275hp guys still feel the affects of this) but that being said 1.15 now is 1.45 under the old indexes & that needs Hp! (my .02 cents)

Re: Stk/ss ahfs - Poll
 

I believe there are many cars under factored. But lets see, build a car, buy the trick trany, spend money on the rear so it is as good as it gets, spend time on the dyno, change cams, ring combos and have all the best parts. And your reward for all this hard work and money spent is you can run 1 sec. under. So lets add horsepower to that combo so it slows him down to run with the people who run slower on a budget. Its not a real hard thing to figure what combo needs HP. Lets try common scense on adjusting HP

Greg: The New AHFC approved by NHRA for 2011 now out. That's not what this survey is about. I just wondered what the general feeling between racers was. You know, What's a FAST run in your mind. I personally think -.8 to -.9 is fast under the new indexes, and that - 1.0 under is very fast. So with that said, I think the instant HP trigger based on the current and new system should be -1.1 under. That's purely my feelings. What's your's?
