Re: HP Adjustments on NHRA.com
Not to mention some of the cars being built completely ignore the rules and are allowed to race. There were pictures on here a while back of a bubble car being built that had a tube chassis with all the floor replaced. Don't remember the name but it is racing now.
Super stock is in my blood but if I was starting from scratch now I would do a 275 car. Cheaper, more races and heads up. |

Re: HP Adjustments on NHRA.com
Even though it is cumbersome I think you have to stick with the system that is in place now which is rating the engine combo and platform individually. There ate to many variables to do it otherwise fwd to rwd, aero, headers, carb to hood clearance etc.

Nitro
I'm courious, look up and see how many RWD GT cars won class at Indy last year....That would be a better baromometer than that list you put up...Or look at the qualifying sheet at Indy, that way,they are all on the same track and conditions....Jeff

Re: HP Adjustments on NHRA.com
I would be hesitant to single out FWD conversion cars for cheating on floorpan rules, there have been numerous photos of conventional SS chassis builds (even on this website) that show blatant floorpan replacement. Have you noticed how low to the ground some of the 60's era cars have gotten? Crawl underneath most 60's era cars with a tape measure and tell me how you legally can get framerails and shocks in place without raising the floorpan? The area between the framerails is getting raised, carpeting does wonders at covering up shiney new non-factory sheetmetal.
Don't get me wrong, I agree that FWD conversion cars have an advantage as far as rules are concerned and every year the rule interpretation seems to be getting a little looser. I didn't build my FWD conversion car that long ago and it's a dinosaur compared to what is being allowed now. Jim Caughlin SS 6019 |
