New S/SS NHRA Horsepower Adjustments

Who out there is running an 83-85 5.0 Mustang in stock? I can't think of anyone who has qualified at the top of the ladder with one. Mark Yacavone's car is a 4 cylinder turbo. That is the only Mustang I can recall that will run that far under the index.

I didn't think there were very many of us either. The fastest I went was 1.11 under at Reading in some good air. I'm also curious as to when this happened. I asked nhra for the #'s. I've always kept my car safe in order not to do this. Obviously someone else wasn't!!!!!

Two very fast ones in division 3.
Dyer and Summers I believe according to Nitro stats.

Dearest Stockracer,
I run a combo that is not that popular.That is the point.There is no reason to get ourselves hp.If we are being combined w/the FI cars they are faster than us period! There are also more of them! It irritates me that there is no reason to put the combo in a position for hp. It's like a comp guy bombing the index on a redlight!!!! I have worked my *** off for the last five years to make my car fast. IT doesn't matter if it's 2 pounds or 200 pounds.It's the principal. It was most likely the convertible that did it. Heres the deal do the math. My car in M 13.15 index min 3040, his car in P 13.65 index 3280 min. 5 tenths for 240 pounds! Hello he doesn't have to make within 25 hp of me to hit the index. That is just irritating. There are plenty of F and G injected stick cars out there moving over. It just puts me at a little more of a disadvantage. That is why I am upset. If you own one of these combos and you did it, good job DONKEY if not stay out of it!! If you want to debate call me i'll be more than glad to talk!!!!
