So, he ran 14.07 on a 15.11 index (-1.037) and it's an issue, why?

627 Brian Seaberg
C3 ****WINNER**** 0.079 14.073 91.44
U/SA Index: 15.11 (+/-): -1.037

This same argument has come up over and over and depending on what it was, received support/ridicule. A combo is 200hp new, nhra lists it as 300hp before it hits the track, is this right in anyones eyes? If it's a 450hp combo that's listed as 200 by the company then yes it's right but really, 2v 302?? Why are all 72-82 rated the same? Are all 350 2v the same? or 273 2v? I realise there are a lot of ford bashers on here, but the thought of 302's taking over and never being corrected is silly.
Ls1, cobra jet, lots of others underrated...it eventually gets sorted out.(and not in the 10 year span predicted either)

Yup, there a ford ringer out there being exploited by one guy....like that's never happened before with a chev or dodge....reminds me when Bill Elliot used to win with a ford in the 80's in nascar, all the fords were hit with penalties, even though elliot was first then the next ford was in about 15th place and the last 5 cars of any race were fords...but elliot would win and the fords would be hit with another restriction. Yeah that's when I stopped watching the anti-ford nascrap.
