"anti racing" ?? .... seems to me anyone added to a qualifying sheet should
be welcomed and viewed as a plus. When there are no racers there will be no racing. As far as "mistakes on factoring"
when GM produced V-6 monte carlos and el camino's they probably
were not too worried about advertised h.p factor for sales or the nhra guide. When nhra
has no on track data on a combo they pretty much have no choice
but to start out as "advertised" and go from there. When the big 3
release a performance car h.p. may be exagerated if anything trying
to bolster sales. Ever see h.p. stickers on cars where nhra has
actually factored nhra h.p. below advertised ? say like 380/370
something like that ? I have noticed these at times. I am sure takes
several racers running same combo and petitioning for that to happen.
I imagine Nhra does not just arbitrarily guess something may be over factored.
One thing for sure they are not always going to please everyone.
I am sure it is a lot of work to add a combo to the guide.
Someone requested this and hopefully we see one soon.!!
