As the result of runs under the Automatic Horsepower Factoring System (AHFS) 1.20-second under policy at the Tire Kingdom NHRA Gatornationals, the following changes have been made.

The horsepower rating for 2010 Ford Cobra Jet, entries with the 281 cubic inch engine and a factory rating of 235 currently rated at 235, has been increased by thirteen horsepower, to 248 horsepower; for Stock Eliminator

The horsepower rating for 09-10 Dodge Drag Pak, entries with the 370 cubic inch engine and a factory rating of 385-390 currently rated at 426, has been increased by fourteen horsepower, to 440 horsepower; for Stock Eliminator

The horsepower factoring will never work because all older (pre-2008) combos got factored for years on a .10 steeper factoring system than the cars do today.

btw - there's a 2010 Mustang for sale right now that the owner advertises will go -1.70 under the index with no problem.......so he's got me covered by about a second or so. Seems pretty fair to me going up against the new cars with my hyper-factored Austin Powers vintage car.

I'm curious as to why the auto and stick both got the same HP increase in this particular case. It's been an either/or hit for the past several years. Did something change?

I'm still curious as to why the autos & sticks are separated by class!
