SS/AH Factor Change
 

Looks like the auto trans cars run 30 lbs lighter, and the 4 speed add 12 lbs. HP now the same in stick and automatic. Interesting.

Yea, that is interesting. The was word that the stick had the advantage for awhile....I guess we will really see.

There's a stick car in the 8'teens in testing.

Assume you're talking about Charlie?

Re: SS/AH Factor Change
 

Does anybody on here think that we'll ever see a 7.99 SS/AH or are we pretty much tapped out on finding power in these Hemi's (without more rule changes)?

Re: SS/AH Factor Change
 

Maybe my math is wrong? But I have both combos @ 3200 w driver now.

505 HP * 6.00 = 3030 + 170lbs for driver = 3200 lbs. across scales.

Who went 8.teens?

Re: SS/AH Factor Change
 

I wonder who been saying to do this for over 4 years now, guess someone does listen

Wonderful Class. Heads Up racing. I wish Chevy would sponsor a Class. Maybe if several Chevy Vette owners talked about it and put up money THEY could run Heads up too. Maybe just make it for INDY in SS/AA. Everyone put in 100$ and get sponsor money to make pot good.
Or EVEN BETTER how about SS /B and BA so Ford, Chevy and Chrysler ( and AMC) could participate? No Blown cars....Or Factor them better.. When the new cars get factored better the old TOP/SS could be REALLY interesting to watch.
If people were interested I would volunteer to REstart TOP/SS for 2012 with factored new cars....

The 8'teen was not one of the obvious picks. I can't say who it is but I can say he has a clutch provided by my favorite clutch man. :)

Re: SS/AH Factor Change
 

since the 22 record was set in 600+ ft of air it is totaly possible for someone to run in the teens with below sea level air and pretty decent track conditions this time of year. butt do you really think one of these guys would go that fast and not let it be known? if neither me or ben has heard of if , i doubt it. there is some cars that are capable of that. wish somebody would get a shootout up at belle rose that paid some money this spring. "live action"
