SSDiv6 First I have reread my post and no where did I BLAME the racers. In fact I used the word Hero to describe the user of the classic "underfactor" method of building a new car.
Why limit the motors? No this does not have to do with the TOP/SS racing or TOP/STK racing. The opposite. AA/AH is the LIMITED class. Only Hemi cars..... TOP/SS and TOP/STK are for ALL BRANDS to race HEADS UP like CLASS but with MORE PEOPLE in the CLASS.
Factoring before they reach the track? What do you think a 350 chevy flat top motor with a 400 carb and heads should be if all factors are better than a 300 hp motor. Should it be 25 hp less or even or more?
What about an Injected 305 versus a carb motor? Notice I am speaking of chevy combos that have been overlooked in factor correction before they show up and then the begin to eliminate other motors as they are not agressively factored. That is not totally wrong but costly to keep changing to lower hp stuff...
Jeff. Weaker factor is how NEW cars get to be used by racers to do away with old stuff. Seems Nostalgia racing is regaining though.
