Slow averages question

terry1 · 02-09-2020, 04:17 PM

In my case, with a 175/275 HP 78 Camaro stick combo natural "I", does it mater
what class I would run(H,I orJ) to get a slow average recorded?
What I mean is; If I run .500, .600 or whatever under, will it mater the class I do it in?
Will it still "count" toward the NHRA HP rating for my combo, if adjusted?

The screenings will look for an overall engine family average, or class/engine average less than 0.549-seconds under. If both averages are found to be slower than 0.549-second under, a change will be initiated. Runs of 0.100-second under and slower are not included in calculating the engine average:

however, note the change this year:

"Once an engine family receives a horsepower increase it is not eligible for a decrease."
