Thanks Findell, Mosbek, and Wann for the Hp!

No offense, but if everybody can go 1.15 under with that combo, then shouldn't it get hp?

Your Indy class win last year *was* really cool - was glad to see it!

rgarvey · 09-03-2009, 07:14 PM

well not everybody can run that fast anyway so when it gets horsepower the fast guys will not see a real loss but us slower guys see it. well i was looking for a rason to build a different combo know i have one. for sale a good slow 9 under car.

Well i run a E/SA Fairlane and i would not stand a chance against there combo. I hope NHRA will pay close attention to these posts. The numbers speak for them selves.

I really don't think that NHRA will add any HP to the Combo,they should, but it sure seems strange that the same motors in a Challenger and Cuda are rated at 10 HP more (299). They know the potential that this Combo has, it has taken a situation like this to cement it. And as Mr Buckner has stated, "4 HP won't slow me down any", sounds like he's not afraid of anybody including the HP Factor Committee.

My hat is off to everyone that runs their cars flat out for Class. Thats really what its all about, isn't it?? And there's not a better place to do it than the US Nationals.

RJ the real issue is who's the biggest bs'er you or Ray. In that regard I would have to say it's a dead heat.

Rod Greene · 09-04-2009, 07:15 AM

The E bodies are rated at more HP because of a run made at Pomona with a motor that couldn't have passed even west coast tech.

Jim Kaekel · 09-04-2009, 07:22 AM

I can't even fathom the thought of giving up a class win to save horsepower. Anybody that does this needs to ask themselves, what are they racing for? Personally, I think they need to find a new hobby.

Lyn Smith · 09-04-2009, 07:29 AM

NHRA has a class for the Hemis in SS . Maybe they should give the small block Chrysler guys their own classes in stock so they could just beat up on each other.

I think the sport is called "racing" for a reason.
