No HP for 1.20 under at National Opens
 

It looks like NHRA has made it where National Opens no longer offer the possibility of horsepower, should make it interesting for races like the Dutch Classic, Indy Open, etc. I guess you can set records over 1.20 under without horsepower now?

In my opinion, runs associated with officially recognized NHRA record runs and a positive teardown inspection should be subject to inclusion/review, regardless of the event.

The other stuff is fine I guess. Guys can go play/show off and enjoy it a little, a couple times a year.

So the ones that were made in 2012 were they suppossed too ? Looks like that includes record runs . Hats off to NHRA for making it clear to everyone for 2013 . I wonder what the policy is for tear downs and supensions ?

Does it still count towards a 1 second flag so that is just delayed gratification?

What part of the following posted on the NHRA website as mentioned in Andrew's thread do you not understand?

"No runs made during National Opens, test and tune, time trials, or races within a race (i.e. Jegs Allstar eliminations, Stock / Super Stock Combos or other races that are not part of a season long points championship) are included in any review."

not that i never said the Automatic Help For Slugs (AHFS) cannot and would not EVER work to keep the playing field level... now NHRA has cut the gonads out of it...

how in the heck is it EVER supposed to hit the fast cars if they keep raising and now eliminating the trigger runs ????????

this is without a doubt the most ignorant thing NHRA has done lately... and thats saying something !

It looks like I was reading it wrong.

And what if the National Open is part of a point’s championship? They are in Division 6

Re: No HP for 1.20 under at National Opens
 

I'm in with that!

Then a pan removal and a piston and rod on the table
in "THE BARN" after the final, for both winner and runner-up!
(For anyone running 1.10 under or better) that is..

Lets get it done!!
