Re: New website: "What class does this run?"
 

Had an accident back on Aug.30 falling from a tree I was cutting down. Fractured my pelvis in 2 places and fractured my rt. hip requiring surgery. So, have not not been able to work on the Camaro much since. Car is back from body shop with fresh paint ( victory red) and converted to manual steering. Next I will tackle converting to manual brakes and install line-loc. Process will be slow but I am chomping at the bit to get it finished. Have accumulated several parts and plan on this being a nice build once complete. I believe the 305/180 will be a viable combo for R/T/U stock and looking forward to having some fun with it. Thanks for asking ! - JOE

Gosh! I am so sorry to hear! I hope you have a full recovery, and soon!


But I am glad you are continuing with the build. I too think there is lots of potential in the 305-180 combination. Good luck and keep me posted with the progress!

Re: New website: "What class does this run?"
 

I am working diligently to get all the hp changes in the CRI database. I will make a big announcement when the project is finished. There are also some programming changes going in that will address some of the problems with the Mopars and Fords that have multiple ratings for the same engine in different body styles of the same model. Some cosmetic additions are also being worked on to make reading the large pages easier.


GM and Mopar hp changes are done. Some of early Ford.... I am reviewing everything!! If you find something that is not right, please let me know!!


Thanks for all the support!

Mr Southerland,

This is a work to be commended, Thank You.

End of 2015 Updates Are Done!!
 

Thanks for the encouragement, Larry!


The latest power factor changes and tech bulletin updates are done!

Re: New website: "What class does this run?"
 

1/1/2016 New stuff for ClassRacerInfo web site!!

• All the changes from NHRA in the class guides (new power factors) and tech bulletins are in the database.
• The new F/SAA class added to classifications. (I guessed on the indexes since NHRA has not published them yet.)
• Fixed some bugs that kept from calculating correct classifications when multiple factors were applied to different bodies of the same model car. This especially affected the 1971-74 Mopar 340 cars.
• Added panel background coloring for the classification grids so that all the data for a particular engine is easier to visualize on the chart.
• Added the dates of the power factors to the classification grid.

Currently working on:

• A way to show odd power factors for the same engine like ram air options, the 63-64 Chevrolets with differences for the WCFB and Rochester carbs, the Chev 454s with the 236 vs the 292 heads, and others.
• Adding text information for engines and cars. (more on this later!)

Enjoy!!
