Ed, That was on the 255 hp, 441 head model.
We're talking about the 350 /300.
Never a question on the hoods for them. The Indy Pace Car was a 350 / 300 base, with cowl hood.

Flat hood and cowl are rated the same, why would hp increase effect one and not the other ?.Rick

This deal of not checking cars after -1.20 runs is BS. This is just laziness on NHRA part.
Is this the beginning of the end ? Stock will be bracket 2 and S/S will be bracket 1. I agree with you Charley. Is it laziness or just being cheap on NHRA's part by not having qualified tech people any more ?

The 350/300 never came with a "flat" hood. This combination was only available in the SS and the SS came with either the simulated "Stacks" on the hood or the cowl hood.

because they seem separated in the guide, that would be the only reason they are.

My point is if it made no difference prior to the hp increase ,why should hood choice make a difference now. Rick.

I thought It listed a different HP for “Fresh air hood” in the guides last time I looked

In all do respect to Jimmy and Austin, I say nice job An id love to see that race, this is what our sport is about. Lifting at a 1000’ is no fun. Run them like there supposed to be ran in a heads up situation.
