HP for DP Challenger in Stock

[James L Miller]

1. Clay Arnett '15 Camaro FS/XX 9.90 8.488 -1.412
2. Kevin Skinner '14 Mustang FS/XX 9.90 8.553 -1.347
3. David Barton Challenger FS/X 10.15 8.804 -1.346

The horsepower rating for 09-10 Dodge Drag Pak, entries with the 426 cubic inch engine and a factory rating of 450 currently rated at 474, has been increased by sixteen horsepower, to 490 horsepower; for Stock Eliminator.

So, how did the Camaro and the Mustang not get HP when the Challenger did? Does AHFS stand for Afraid to Hit Fords and Shivies? What's the deal doe?

That's because Kevin Helms went 1.209 under the index in the 3rd round of eliminations and he wasn't in the factor shoot out deal.

AHFS does not apply to cars that are in the Factory Stock Showdown as Arnett, Skinner, and Barton were. Helms was not in the Showdown; therefore, he got the hit when he went 1.209 under. If Helms ran in the Showdown, as he has in the past, he wouldn't have gotten the hit.

We were hoping nobody noticed. But then again.......

Thanks for the clarification. I got the wrong DP and forgot about the loophole. He sure got nailed for a -1.209. If I read it right, no HP if you are less than 1.199 under?

That whole deal is like eating a soup sandwich

That's why you put crackers in the soup, it keeps it from squirting out your teeth!
