Who's the Baddest B/SA now?

Car A is late on the tree
Car A can still get there without running 1.20 under ( would you like point out how foolish that statement is? Please use numbers in your example) but chooses to hit the brakes and not take the win
If car A does go get the win, and live up to the "baddest B/SA in the country" title portrayed on itself, then worst thing is it gets a 3.5% hit. Roughly the equivalent of 12 hp. I think there was a pink car that did it right in front of it
Please show this fool how I'm wrong. Can the car not incur 3 ahfs hits before it is equal to the HP rating of the exact same engine in the other lane? I have it all wrong. I'm the one who doesn't understand how it all works.
Only a fool would think that 315 lbs, with the same engine output, should have incremental times of 0.30 sec faster. But this fool does not know anything about incremental times

Your rationale is not correct!
There is more to aerodynamics than just an assumption. A small frontal area and nose shape does not make a car instantly fast.
I would like to know where you derive or the formula that 315 pounds less in weight is an instant -0.30 seconds faster.

Ummmmmmm.... NHRA standards
The difference between A/SA and C/SA index is exact 0.40 of a sec
If you were to move anyone of these B/SA cars from A to C, you would be moving 350-400 lbs
Safe to say, by the standard that we all race by, 100 pounds is about a tenth in these classes.
Hopefully that wasn't too complicated

Well Kenny you obviously like to run your mouth and race your keyboard so why don't you show up at a race with YOUR car IF you even have one and show us all of your infinite wisdom. I am not sure what you are even trying to prove you say you don't have a car in the class ? So what is the point ? You are definitely entertaining us and making us laugh because no one is taking you serious more like laughing at you and we would do it to your face but wait we can't because you hide behind a keyboard . Hmmm you have any class wins or divisional or National even wins ? You seen to just want to knock a fellow racer because you have some kind of stick up your *** but its ok because we are all out here doing it and you again are racing a keyboard god luck with that maybe they will make keyboard racing a class
