Re: End of year Horse Power
 

So how does it average out? Add the average together from the three classes the combination can run and divide by three?

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

It doesn’t. If any of the three classes have an average quicker than 85 under, you get horsepower.

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Ok I've turned from reporter to "investigative reporter". Maybe Ken will give me a raise!
I have spoke to the new owner of the car which is Al Brister, I don't think he will mind me putting that information out. It is a 1987 305 190/237 combination and the tech card was turned in as such by Willie Mylin the driver at Rockingham. Willie has been running his 83 CM car in the Open series here in Division 2 this year. This may account for why the information in the averages that were released last week look a little screwed up but they are certain the information on the tech card were turned in correctly. Willie being a little new to NHRA class racing didn't really understand how the AHFS really works and made a mistake by unintentionally triggering the combo at Rockingham.
Case closed!

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

If I had a combo “at risk” I’d be finding a car to rent for the Vegas Divisional. Or make a long tow...

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

So the 69 Nova 350/255 is looking at a 2.25% increase in hp if there are no more runs in F/SA..7Hp?

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

We hauled two 71 Demons across the country twice last year around
the end of year.......Not much fun although we meet a lot of good folks
in St. Louis in the rain and snow the last trip.

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Jim it will be all for nothing if it goes mineshaft, no runs will count except -1.200 runs

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Good point, just looked and it could have easily done that last year if just a few stepped up...

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

And the weather is very cool for Vegas this week. Could very easily be mineshaft.

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Yes

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

A combo is reviewed when 2 triggers of 1 second or more
From what Pat told me at Maple Grove is 350/255 is in review ...nova
The combo is in review the class average was 785 at the time
The average in f/sa was 91. No one runs there. Ugly
I was told as long as no one hit it in again in f/sa the combo is OK
The combo average is what is happening now
I HOPE SO. We will see.
Now the 1969 camaro with 350/255 is in destructible,, triggered to death No Hit

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Interesting the 350/300 is rated 286 and 290 depending on Combination.
Compression Ratio are 9:1 for 255hp and 10.25:1 for 300hp
350/255 is 280, 275 and 263 depending on combination.

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Vegas is our home track......Very possibly could be Mine shaft
both the next two weeks. However, it may be pretty windy and often
a headwind at our track. Time will tell!

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Of course it will be... I cant be there, LOL!

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Pete, you never withdrew from Vegas ?? .......

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Yes brother I certainly did, don’t know why I still appear on the list? I haven’t withdrawn from Pomona as yet hoping it will be meaningful to someone if enough bail after Vegas...

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

I see only one Dallas National event on the schedule....Oct. 17-20 and only one Dallas Div. race...April 4-6

I'm wondering ...is there a Dallas, Texas 2 event ?

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

no,

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

First thank you Al Brister for straigthening out the "supposed cheating". My Brother turned in two tech cards for the weekend one for the lucas race and another for the open race looks like there may have been a mistake made in the tech trailer, but we don't what happened. As far as Willie being new to Class racing that is far from the truth. My brother and I grew up in classracing when or dad(Bill Mylin) race in the 80 and early 90s. My Brother has been racing since the mid 90s in NHRA and IHRA stock and super stock. I personally started driving my car in around 2006 in IHRA and I hope to have my new motor built by the begining 2020 season to run in stock.

Just my two cents
Andrew Mylin

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

I don't think anyone was suggesting that anyone waa cheating they were just trying to clarify what combo this waa going to affect.. The comments about being new to class racing were my take on the conversation I had with Al because he told me this was probably the result of inexperience in dealing with AHFS.

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

I apologize if I came off rude. All someone has is there word and there name and I look up to my brother alot and don't want his name smeared or mine.

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Understandable, from what I gather there were quite a few tech cards from the Rockingham race that got entered into the system incorrectly. Good luck on getting your car finished and hopefully we'll see you out next year in it.

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Never meant that there was cheating involved,more of a concern of what the car was classified as. We run the same combination and was trying to figure out what combo you were actually running.

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Lee is there anyone out west that runs the same combo that can sandbag it at Vegas points meet. Same thing about happened to us last year and thankfully Chris Ashley was nice enough to get it under control for us.
I typically try to run some slow runs in each class during the year to help protect it but I didn't do that this year since I didn't race much.

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Not that I know of,only three racers I know of running this combo.

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Sounds like you and Bryan better hit the road, I'm sure he would be up for a trip to Vegas!

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Looks like a weekend doing math in public....

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

At this point I would have to say "No". Based on the quickest Qualifying pass and 3 Rounds here in Vegas this weekend the Class Average in F/SA should now be -.797394 which is well below the -.88811 where you left it after your two triggering runs and a weekend of going fast in F/SA at Atco.

You're welcome..... I prefer a good IPA btw 😉

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Thank you Mr Battis l owe you one 🍺👊 .

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Billy now we can talk you and James off the ledge. You in the front and him pushing you. I hope this year you both make a trip to Indy. I will pay the faster of you two at Indy $200. Don't have to race each other just the quickest qualified. You both have to be there in your Nova's.

Anyone else want to throw 25 or 50 in the pot. With these two there it will be worth the price of admission.

I will even throw in another $150 if you pit next to each other. That's 350 total from me enough to pay your entrance fee. BP

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Oh now you care. Thanks Carl. Good to have friends out west.
Barry very generous offer. But that would mean Billy would have to grow a pair and travel beyond Atco. I will go but I will be in the way. I’m more into who gets to the finish line first
Time slip is too easy and I ain’t that fast.

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

I'll throw in $200 lol!

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Barry - The burger business must be very alive and healthy - all that plus one of our reporters offered an extra $200 - so the pot is growing .

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

I don’t think James is the next Fletcher on tour I went to more divisional races and finished a lot higher in the points then him . Yes James I always cared. But have to agree with Barry I don’t think I want my car in the other lane with you going by your driving record .

P.S. put the keyboard down and go work on your car ✌🏻

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Billy you don't have to be in the other lane. Just whom ever qualifies the fastest. Jack the burger place is doing alright just takes up so much time I don't get out much. So I look at the money I'm posting as entertainment. Plus they are both great guys if I make it to Indy it will be just that much more interesting to watch. LOL BP

So if Mr Williamson is posting $200 it is already up to $550 and it's not even been a day. Can we get this to a grand before Indy???

You don't have to post big money just $25 it will add up.

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

My " Billy, should I get popcorn?" was in the wrong thread.

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

I'm with Mr Barry on this I love some good entertainment! Heck if I can make it in person I might throw an extra $100 in just for getting to see it in person.

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Come on Mike kick into the pot. Maybe we can get them to arm wrestle too. BP

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

I`m in for $50

Re: End of year Horse Power
 

Barry, i will throw twenty five into the pot just to see more Novas at Indy. Of course i REALLY would like to see a certain green one show up....
