David B, I got one better than that, In the Class final at Indy I get out run by .17 -1.07 to 1.24 under. Now here's the good part sence I ran faster than -1.15 in Q and so did another Class thats the same combo, My combo hits theTrigger and we get 4HP. Even better he's running a combination no one else in the country runs hes the onlyTrigger, I get to add 50lbs now i'm .25 hun. behind. So now all i can do is sing a Christmas song an be happy, all i want for Christmas is another two tenths, another two tenths, Find another two tenths GEE,if icould only find another Two tenths then i could have a Merry Christmas TOO! MERRY CHRISTMAS HO HO HO !

Cool Re: Horsepower Adjustments are Posted

Why dont most of you (the ones who run the older combos) just set back and take a year (one season) off from kissing NHRA's ***** and let the new combos have at it? The lack of entries would get the ASSociations attention and maybe the newer combos would beat their own brains out and get some HP during the season. You could use that time to TEST and save a fortune in travel and entry expense. Would one season kill you?

Terry: That's really not a bad idea! Buy the end of 2010, even with the new index, the Big Engine Mustangs, convertibles included, and the Big Engine Challengers should all be AA Stockers or SuperStock. (as they should be) It's going to be interesting to see how the "purpose" built cars with the smaller engine combos figure into the skeem of things!!!!!! I can hear the whinning now!!! Maybe Stock Eliminator (all classes) will be Mustangs and Challengers....Now that would be fun to watch! ... Spec Stock Eliminator ...The Cars of the future !!! That's when I quit! JB.

Jim, look at it from a Ford fans view over the last 20 years or more what % of the field has been GM, NHRA has been pro GM for ever, maybe they are seeing this now and welcome some new blood in the sport. Just think for a sec. what if it was TOYOTA?

Stand at the entry gate the next time your local track has a Test and Tune nite. I don't know about anyone else, but I sure don't see any 40+ year old Camaros, Belvederes, or Mustangs coming through. The young crop of racers for the most part are not into old cars with distributors and carburetors. The latest cars with the low hp ratings will help generate interest in the new cars, get them built, and get them on the track for all the young racers, (and kids) at the track to see, touch, taste, and smell. Don't get me wrong, my car as well is not competitive against the low rated newer stuff, but what else is going to get these youngsters out of their Hondas and Subarus and into Detroit iron?

Like I posted in the other thread where you had a similar post, before you edited it, these $50K to $100K new cars aren't going to do it. The kids you're talking about do not have the money, the time, or the interest. We sell parts and services to them every day. They're not interested in class racing with all of the rules, all of the effort, and all of the expense. If they did want to run Stock or Super Stock, and they didn't want old iron, they'd be scarfing up all those LSx F bodies and building them, or the Mustangs, or the ones with money would get Corvettes. But they aren't. Because they don't want to spend the money, the time, or the effort, and they don't like all the rules. I hear it every day when we open the doors.

I posted on the wrong thread before, so I posted here. These kids are already going to the drag strip every week, might as well put something on the track from Detroit for them to see. The kids around here (Charlotte) spend a ton of money (or their parents') on their imports. So where do you think the next breed of S/SS racer is coming from?
