I saw Don Little racing this same car at Bakersfield last year I think it was. He said he
was testing it to straighten out some things. But I don't think it was 2 or 3 yrs back?

Because the purpose of weighing a vehicle is to determine "race weight" not "race weight after removing weight".
To determine race weight you would have to fill the radiator back up and of course know how full it was in the first place in order to be accurate.
Geez, if you need a written rule on how to interprut that, you must have a sorry program.

I only raced Dave's 'Cuda once. Darrin beat me....

Phil, you are correct Don and I were testing the car at Bakersfield last year. The car was actually sold November 5th of 2005. The car arrived in Sweden about 2 weeks ago. I am sure you are wondering why it took so long and to explain that I would have to write a small book that would shed some bad light on a couple of well known people and the business's they own.

can a 427 run b? so was it a 396 or 427?

[Chuck Norton]

I have been told that their car had an iron-head 427. A 1969 Camaro with iron block and GM factory heads is rated at 425 horsepower as of today. The classification guide shows that the class HP/weight factor is currently at 8.06 with an automatic transmission. As a natural "A" car it can legally run "B." The shipping weight is 3425#. By my calculations, in B/SA, it would weigh (425 x 8.5) 3612# plus the driver weight for a sticker weight of 3780#.

Three additional horsepower on the combination would bring the HP/weight factor below 8.0 and out of the reach of B/SA.

thanks chuck

If he did pull the weight out of the car to make it too light in an attempt void the run, the run of 1.408 under should be used by the AHFS to adjust the power on that combination.

As for time off for bad behavior, I'm glad that is not my decision !!!!!!
