I feel assured that there is a master list about this otherwise how and the heck could they keep track of "Who" went too fast and in "What" concerning AHFS and Instant Horsepower hits.

Should be easy for them to just publish it for everyone's benefit.

You do think they have a list......???

RJ

No, I don't think that they have a list. I think that they grudgingly write down just what they NEED to write down and rely on the memories of a certain few old-timers for the rest. Plausible denial.

Maybe they should look at the weight that's taken in and out.how much over your minimum are you allowed to weigh? Biggg

I might be wrong but, I thought the six cylinder Mustang was built on Falcon based platform and the Eight cylinder Mustang used a Fairlane based platform.

[Larry Hill]

Three years.


Doug look at the fifth paragraph from the bottom on the AHFS explained. In that same general area it also explains how to get the power removed, just follow directions and fill out the form!

Six cylinder Mustangs use Falcon suspension and steering parts. Eight cylinder Mustangs use Fairlane suspension and steering parts. The platforms are basically the same. Kinda like a Dart and a Barracuda.

I find it hard to believe that NHRA does not have a "Platform/HP" breakdown somewhere in the Policy Manual.

You may be right Billy, but just "Winging it" when it comes to AHFS averaging and Instant HP hits leaves a lot to be desired.

RJ

Larry.....you trying to mess with my feeble mind?? 108"W/B compared to 116"W/B is a different platform don't you think?

66/67 Fairlane wagon is built on Falcon wagon chassis and has a shorter wheelbase then a Fairlane coupe

R.J., maybe in Larrys case I should have said "the platforms are basically the same". Kinda like a 1970 'Cuda and a 1970 Satellite.

Somehow I don't think it would register, but you never know....

Been awhile since I tinkered with a 6 cylinder Mustang. Aren't the suspension parts the same as V8's?
