How much undeer the index is your record

Jim Hughes C/S can run 1.0 under at will but you don't see him setting the record probably because it is a pain in the butt (teardown) and pays ZERO!

Did I not read that all runs, even alt. tracks count this year !?

That's the "Dare" part. 2011 is a new game for going under.

They changed the altitude factor and the AHFS rules. Reset all those bull**** records and start from scratch.

Why bother with records at all. The new ones will be Bull**** too the way everybody will be protecting their combinations. Heads up Class runs don't even show how fast a car is unless you count 1000 foot time records too!

Question do they punish comp now for qualifying runs too? Perhaps nhra needs to move it to 1.50 under then and yet people chase the record. They make record runs a big thing for the pros so why not let the sportsman get maybe their entry money back for a record. As a spectator its fun to watch people run fast isn't that what the sport is about....performance. If your dodge and a challenger runs the quickest stock run in history isn't that something for them to advertise? Sure it isn't a street challenger but neither are the scca cars but mazda advertises their road racing heritge all the time. Giving something back to the class racers will only swell the entries and make nhra stronger.

I agree with Altitude adjusted track records being 'suspect'. Answer to my post a while ago stated that the adjustment formula being used was one pilots use to help on take offs with marginal conditions? i may be wrong about this but i believe thats the 'formula' being used. If M/SA index was still 13.15...current record would be 1.62 under! Would that be possible (even the new index record) at a sea level track? Just thinking these records are suspect. No harm intended..if they are legit, good deal to the folks who set them. Would love to see what these guys run at a sea level track though.....just out of curiosity.

My last record was in E/S @ 10.72. That would be at least a 10.52 at a place like Englishtown or the Dutch.
My D/S runs of 10.55 in Arizona would be a 10.35 in Englishtown or the Dutch Classic. Easily. And that was 5-6 years ago.
It's not that difficult to run "way under" in those conditions. It's not always talent, it's the weather!

what did the car weigh ????

[JRyan]

ME TOO.....................O/SA car ran 12.89 has record at 12.18 ???

So what Bob? He ran a 12.19 at The Winternationals earlier in the year.

Take your car to a real 4000 foot elevation track and see how slow in really goes. There is no real comparison between an actual altitude of 4000 feet, and what shows up on your Density Altitude calculator on a bad day in Maryland.

Your statement says more to prove that the factors were correct than it does to say they're bogus (which they were), and I think he actually went a 12.81
The new factors are a little tougher, as that same 12.81 run would factor to a 12.31 this year -- more than a tenth slower than he ran at the Winternationals last year.

Everybody happy now?
