New Horse Power Ratings
 

Where are they ??? When Nitro and Wesley did them we had them by now. Why do we not have them out???

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

After Joliet, probably next week.

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

Should of been out by now , now there will be a bunch of bougus runs . When do we start second session ???

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

Tony is correct. Joliet is the 11th race ( Half way ) . It is done after the first half of the season.

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

I must have missed the new ratings somewhere

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

They are not out yet.

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

As Dave said, Joliet is the half way race. It finished up Sunday. I'd expect approximately a week delay. So they should be out next week. Give or take a week.

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

I am not sure about this, but a rumor that I made up some time ago is going into fruitation.

After Joliet, the head honchos in Glendora are going to bring out their best friend, who is the Horse Power Fairy.

Remember the three tenths they removed a while back? Oh yea, I remember. Well now they just add the tenths back and compare it to how you ran back then. (This is not counting the incremental times for all runs.) After they calculate the difference, they have a good baseline where you really are. Ta Daa...........Fairy dust a coming.

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

It was released 7/06 last year but don't know that it coincided with any upcoming LODRS event...just when they get it done.

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

You guys are in too much of a hurry, how about on the 12th of never. I like that date.

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

the 12th of never, I like that!

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

NHRA usually gives out the news on Fridays's... Gives racers the weekend to settle down and gives NHRA a weekend of having to not field complaints. Let's see if the trend continues?

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

Hey Bro, sorry you got 12hp on your motor...............:eek:.........lmfao

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

As Ken has announced in his "news" section they are now out (just in time for Woodburn!); not the summary list yet so you have to go to your own combo in the classification guide to check (yes, I checked DP and CJ cars out of curiousity but I'll let those with vested interest in those combos chime in). Good news, my combo didn't get hit, bad news it didn't get HP removed.

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

Anyone else having trouble logging on to NHRA?

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

Summary out...

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

Look again.

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

CI 281 232hp is SS only Jason.

What kind if system for HP do you guys want? 15 years ago you all cried about how the old HP system was not fair. So NHRA came up with what it has now. Now you all cry about this system. THERE IS NO FULL PROOF SYSTEM FOR HP.

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

Using the system we've got in conjuction with a little common sense couldn't hurt!

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

I agree 100% Billy. But no matter what group of people you were to put in charge others would complain about them not being fair and this guy favors this div and so on. People will cry no matter what system you have in place.

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

I'm not going to type them out for you, but if you will just readvit, there are two in S & two in SS. One SBC and one BBC.

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

I don't see it either what are the 2 in stock? CHEVY'S

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

Sorry, your right. Old man can't read evidently. Everything I saw there had already been hit.

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

Charley, How do they lower the hp on your 281ci.motor in SS, In Nitro Joe`s book no 281 listed in SS. You ran it SS IHRA. Tom

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

It's the new unwritten cross over rule.

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

Kevin, I looked it up SS/L, he only made one run that counted on the AFHS -.234.Tom

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

Let me see if I understand this. You take a brand new underrated "Stocker" and run it in Super Stock. Run only -.234 under ( according to the criteria this run should not even count) the index then write a letter to get the HP reduced and the powers that be go for it. Yeah, the system works. What a bunch of dupes NHRA has working for them! I think I get it now. Jim:eek:

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

Charlie, let there be no doubt you are my daily hero for exposing the NHRA corruption. I thank you for that. Can you go one step further and ask for a reduced tax rate while you're on this role? You got hot metal...Don't stop hitting it! ;)

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

That run didn't count, he was 200 lbs. heavy.. ;)

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

Ford is the official vehicle of NHRA, that's how you lower the horsepower. You guys on here care about stock and super stock racing but the NHRA suits care about money. If you want your horsepower lowered, try attaching a check next time you write them a letter.

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

How many cars and how many runs worth of data could they have already?

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

Those HP increases didn't do much to slow down the Mustangs. Cour's AA/SA car is sitting Number 1 right now at Woodburn.

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

New horsepower changes from 1st half of year go into effect Monday July 18th.

Re: New Horse Power Ratings
 

Sorry I didn't know that.
