How Much Is "Kill"?

GUMP · 12-31-2021, 10:39 AM

For Class and heads-up runs, how much should be considered as a reasonable gain in ET? I'm talking about dropping 100 pounds, changing to light weight oil, chilling and icing, etc.

Should this get consideration from the NHRA when adding data to the AHFS?

No. Some cars may improve and others will not. There are many combinations that are held back on purposes until they have a heads-up.

Wow Daren! You bored or something?
There are also combos out there that don't pick up for different reasons. Mostly restricted combos.

I think there is a guy that sits down after his School bus route and looks at things like weight, fuel, fuel temp, incremental times, ect. I may be wrong he might go to his shop after the bus route. Maybe he looks at all those things we do at the races after a nice evening meal...

.1 second would be a good pickup in stock for most, the A B C Corvette’s at least .3+ sec.

It can be hazardous to your back, removing weight off some cars, especially in the old days when some guys had big 78 series, spare tires in the trunk full of lead or concrete...

I meant years ago. Spare tires seemed to have disappeared with the allowance of fuel cells in the trunk.
