Re: 8.997 in GT/AA ?
Is the record worth the additional 11-HP this engine received on Tuesday from NHRA?

But, he didn't get to keep it. I was told by a gentleman that knows him, he ran too far under the index. I had no idea that would negate a record.

I hope that has not changed. He deserves to get to keep it.

Re: 8.997 in GT/AA ?
Dumb Question but if he got 11 hp but the record stands does that mean he weighed enough to have been correct wt for the NEW HP? If he got HP how could he still be the new record holder at a light wt? He would not be legal for the class at the wt he set the record correct?
Dick Congrats on running that fast. Sadly another example of factoring issues, but an example of some progress on AHFS. Good luck to the Small block cars who had it handled till this motor was discovered. Last edited by Dick Butler; 02-04-2009 at 06:18 PM. |
