AHFS and the CJs

[Superfan1]

The AA/SA (9.44) and A/SA (9.73) records are now held by Jimmy Holzman and Chad Holzman respectively after their runs at Kearney last weekend; however they did not receive a HP adjustment. After rechecking the section on the AHFS on the NHRA website; I am assuming that because the numbers that came up on the scoreboard (9.68) for Jimmy, and (9.97) for Chad were not 1.40 under their respective indexes, they are not subject to a HP increase. If my interpretation is incorrect, please shed additional light on this subject.

America can rest at night now knowing the only combo in stock eliminator that was bogus is going to get s gift. The only thing this guys did was run his car, something those big block Camaro's in stock eliminator aren't doing at NHRA races. Does'nt matter though, anyone who objectively looks at these sheets knows that there are several underfactored combos out there but it's that fact that this one is a Ford that has some people up in arms. To make this fair to some NHRA should make all cars run on a chassis dyno beofre elims and compare their et's with their chassis numbers, like NASCAR does; would that level the playing field for most pure stock eliminator guys who are trying to preserve the integrity of the class?

Its NOT the fact that its a Ford. It because this Ford has a BLOWER on it. Anytime a car has had a blower (57 312's) or a Turbo (Buicks) it has been a lop sided race until they were factored to where they belong. They will still be "KILLERS" in S/S (SS/D or SS/E) which is where they should have been classified to begin with.

Yawn.

You have it right Bill but the 9.83 (1.42 under) today by the stick car in Virginia should get atleast the stick guys 14hp

Congratulations to all who shared in the mockery. The Ford guys are proud of our little 331 cubic inch blown CJ's. Maybe next year Brian Wolfe will get the Nobel Peace prize.

Or maybe next year there will be a Supercharged class ! LOL

Thanks, Denny. Before I left to go out, I checked DRC but nothing was posted; now that I have returned home, I see the run by Fezell. He qualified #2 (9.91) at Z-max; I spoke to him after the run and he told me that he didn't like the clutch in the car at all. With a 9.830, maybe he has changed it.

I don't see any distinction between the stick and auto combos as far as AHFS goes, they should both get hit
