HP on Monday?
 

Looks as though the 2010 CJ gets a instant 2.25% on Monday, How long ya think before these AA cars cant run Stock anymore ?

1 3909 AA/SA Drew Skillman, Greenwood IN, '10 Mustang 9.454 10.60 -1.146
1 3909 AA/SA Drew Skillman, Greenwood IN, '10 Mustang 9.413 10.60 -1.187
1 3909 AA/SA Drew Skillman, Greenwood IN, '10 Mustang 9.408 10.60 -1.192

Only the second race of the year, how is NHRA gonna handle this one ?

Re: HP on Monday?
 

You have to go at least 1.20 under to get an instant hit. Looks like it might happen this weekend, but as of right now there is at least one flag on the combo.

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Toby is of course correct but ...

Until they get a factor less than 7.00 they can continue to add weight to get to 7.50 AA

The '08 is at 7.28 445hp
445*.0225=10.01 hp
7.28*445=3240 I think (did not include driver 170?)
3240/455=7.12 new faactor
Can not take another 2.25 would be 6.97 super stock only

The '10 is at 7.37 445hp
445*.0225=10.01 hp
7.37*445=3280 I think (did not include driver 170?)
3280/455=7.20 new factor
Can take one more 2.25 to end up 7.05

The new 7.00 lb class next year should help

Thanks

:-) peace

Really busy at work can you tell - LOL :-)

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Ok well it wont be as soon as Monday, But the trigger is set and there is more than three runs 0.85 under so they will get a 2.25% increase, I guess my point is how much Weight they going to need to put in these cars or what NHRA is going to do to keep them in Stock . : )

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Only the fastest qualifying run counts. If they go that fast in the eliminator that could activate the trigger.

Re: HP on Monday?
 

the way i have been told ANY run under a second will go into and count as a flagged run, right now if i understand it right, Skillman has 2 hits for the event so far.

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Artie is correct. Only final qualifying counts. Skillman only has one flag so far.

From the AHFS:

"Final qualifying, class eliminations, and elimination runs of 1.00 seconds or more, under the index, at NHRA National and LODRS events will trigger an automatic review. (The combination must make at least two runs of 1.00 or quicker before a review is triggered to prevent a "one time fast run" from triggering the system.)"

What's the problem.Graham and the boys will come up with a 6.75 break,and so on and so on.No problem
They're getting used to the free rides they get to use.

If all of you can not or do not understand it then you need to talk directly to Bruce . Instead of running it to death

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Mr Wrench where's Colubus Oh.?:>):>) How far is it from Noo Joisey?

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Drinking and typing should not be allowed

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Anything that raises a flag and is less than 1.20 under will not get horsepower until the mid season adjustment in July.

BTW, the 1.20 under instant hit is the same as 1.50 under before the .3 was taken off for last season. A 1.50 under hit has not been used since the AHFS began years ago.

Was someone trying to protect the new cars or what?

Re: HP on Monday?
 

What were you drinking?

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Wasn't the automatic hit at 1.40 before they dropped the .30?

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Yes and now it would be the same as if it were 1.50 under.

Who allowed this?

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Wow! Really?!

Re: HP on Monday?
 

No,we were only kidding:>):>)

I'm amazed at "racer's" that don't understand the dysfunctional chain of toilet flushing that implements these rules.

Re: HP on Monday?
 

lol

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Do the Glendora brain trust wash their hands after they flush?

Re: HP on Monday?
 

What do you think the raised "insurance surcharge" is for? The bathroom attendants have to be paid somehow.

Re: HP on Monday?
 

first round may yield some hp hits, sure is good air there

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Heh heh heh...

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Or, more cars spinning around at the finish line...

Re: HP on Monday?
 

On the live timing I just saw Ray Skillman run 8.675/159.59
in SS/BA. 1.225 under the index.

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Yhatzee!!!! We have a winner!!!

Skillman went way too quick...

Bingo

Re: HP on Monday?
 

If you go 1.00 second or more under, twice in a review period, not per race, you trigger a review. 1.20 under gets you instant hp!! This includes all runs at National and LODRS races!!! It also includes 1.20 under runs at National Opens and Sportsnationals!!

Re: HP on Monday?
 

A .512 light will do that to you.

Re: HP on Monday?
 

He had to know his light was way off, why did he run it all out.

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Because he can ...

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Probably because he doesn't care about getting HP on Monday; these cars have plenty left that they haven't shown, especially the 2010s which is what his is.

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Maybe he is tired of the BS !

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Hmm,misnomer there.

Re: HP on Monday?
 

What ever the reason, I have a new hero. That's impressive.

Re: HP on Monday?
 

Hey ED back to your question Uncle Jack that's why it took so long to get back with you

Re: HP on Monday?
 

There is no stipulation that says you can only get one flag per race. As you said in your post all runs count (except in qualifying where only the quickest run counts.)

Skillman and Fezell now have two flags on their combos.

Re: HP on Monday?
 

I went to Pat & Bruce here at Gators and asked them and as I stated before thats what they told me, might just want to ask them yourselves before trying to figure this whole deal out on here.
And they told me as i left them, "We can not figure out why people cant understand how its written"

(Including me)

Re: HP on Monday?
 

I asked this question during the winter because I also thought that you could get more than one flag in qualifying. Division 6 representative Jim Mantle was nice enough to email Pat Cvengros, NHRA Technical Services Representative, and ask him about it. This is Pat's email to Jim:

Joe, you would think they could understand why. We are obviously idiots. Look at what we spend and put up with, and keep showing up. LMA

Not an indication of normal inteligence that's for certain.
