New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

Any idea how the 396/325 got 5hp? I didn't think it was triggered and I thought Englishtown was a mine-shaft rule race. I see Steve Sawka went -.97 in qualifying at the Virginia divisional. He lost first round and results are not posted on DRC. Maybe he triggered it in round 1.

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

Did I read that right 67-70 Camaro/nova 350 295hp got 4 hp. If so I would like to know how???

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the triggers still count at mineshaft races. They use none of the numbers for the average, but the trigger still counts.

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

In Boise Alan Messer ran a second under but that was with a stick car.

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

From the Lucas Oil Website:

"If at the conclusion of qualifying the first competitor in the bottom half of the field is -.850 seconds or more under the class index, the Q and E Data will not be used for the mid-year and year end reviews. This will only apply to qualified fields of 32 or more cars."

I guess you are right Hidalgo. I did it to myself!

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

Thanks !!

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

Did anyone else here that the horsepower was going to be adjusted once a year? I was told before Chicago that the adjustments were going to be made once a year at the end of the year.

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

Did i read this correctly, LT1 Camaro and Firebirds got some power back?

GM 350 275-285 340 345 93-98 Cam/Fire


I thought it was over 350hp after Charlotte.

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

That's for the manual trans LT1 cars.

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

No SuperStock stuff ???????

Give'm time, Jack!


Changes are in the database at www.clasracerinfo.com

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

Shucks, I forgot to write my letter!

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

I think that's from competitors requests. Surprised about the 350 and 396.

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

Does it ever go down?

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

You are missing an "s" in the website address

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

You mind writing one for me Mr Larry?

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

I thought when the mineshaft rule was in effect, the AFIS did not count. Meaning you could run up to 119 under the index. Which is it?

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

You are correct, as long as there are at least 32 or more cars qualified.

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

I thought the same, but the way it is worded the runs only don't count toward the average. I'm assuming there will be clarification on this coming soon.

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

So you're saying even though the runs don't count you can still trigger a review?

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

Correct. Old fingers mess up sometimes. :rolleyes:

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

Don't worry Larry... looks like no reductions
till next time. So get your letters in by fall for your
combo/combo's request. ;)

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

I thought more combo's could have been hit as we have had several races where the DA was close to sea level. Virginia, Maple Grove, Etown and Epping were all mighty fast places. There were a lot of 1000' runs at these races trying to stay under the trigger.

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

Letters don't seem to bring reductions, it must be political.

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

The letters bring reduction when paired with the appropriate numbers.

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

HP increase's are twice a year like they have been doing for 40 plus years. Reductions are only once a year because it was to much for Pat Cvengros to handle. Funny They have no problem doing increase's twice a year but no time for two reductions a year.

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

That's because no one requests an increase in Hp but lots of us request reductions.

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

Reductions are once a year cause Larry only needs once a year. He has the formula: (X-Y+Z) .365 >23/6

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

Jeff why did you chance the number to a fraction?

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

Looks like the trigger was caused by Alan Messer who drives a stick car. I spoke to Pat Cvengros a few minutes ago and the horsepower will be removed today.

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

I guess there were no changes in the Super Stock HP or were they simply to lazy to post them?

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

The way it was explained to me is that the engine gets triggered regardless of the transmission, (one run could be a stick and the other an auto) and then they look at the averages for both stick and auto and if either are more than .85 under, that engine/trans combo gets hp,

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

Not correct to my understanding. It is transmission dependent.

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

So does this mean that when a mine shaft rule is in effect any runs that are 1.0 under or faster do not count against the average, or produce any triggers for review for that weekend?

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

Ah! The "simple" AHFS strikes again.

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

I do not understand.? on the nhra competition
"more h.p. updates" dated 7/15/15 Superstock
changes it looks like on the first line the combo gets
a 6 hp. reduction. then on line 2 it looks like it looses 5 h.p.
and it lools like the same combo to me?

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

As I read the classification guide, it appears to be the same engine combination, but one is classified as "with P/G" (assuming power glide), which is the combo that got increased HP and the other one got reduced HP. Maybe some one more knowledgeable than me can clarify.

Re: New NHRA Horsepower Hits!
 

Anybody know what/who triggered the 1987 Chevy 305 190/241 combo to get hit?
