All 305 Engines Horsepower

[1reddago]

At the last National event a race with a borrowed car got you all hit with horse power . The car he was racing red lit and he still ran it all out with that borrowed car. You would think if he was driving his car he would not of done that.Now your car will be hit with weight and a horse power change.Also looking at the tech card he had changed his classification.i guess thats what happens when you do not have a tech. JUST MY TWO CENTS

Sooo....the moral of your story is......

[nhramnl]

Can you provide any details, like Stock or Super Stock, which "last national event" (because it doesn't seem to be Englishtown)?

[Timetraveler]

I would like to hear more information. After you go thru tech or declare a class you can not change classes.

There SHOULD BE a mandatory, mandatory tare down on ANY car running 1.20 under.
the index.
If found to be in good standing with the rules & specs., then the appropriate HP should be applied for that combo.(Mine shaft conditions ect. applied of course)

If the car is not in spec.
then disregard the run and take it out of the average
DISMISSAL FOR CAR AND DRIVER FOR 1 YEAR no questions.

That would put an end to this for all parties.

WITHOUT at Tare down and full tec. inspection to uphold the integrity of Stock Super Stock racing, what we have here are some super expensive bracket cars.


This is getting crazy!!

I didn't want to get into this
but I have to support Rod here
He went through tear down a few weeks ago
He set the record and he had the record before that
He has worked very hard to get to the point he is at
Isn't that what this is all about?
This is about performance isn't it?
Now i dont know why he did it
Maybe just because he can
Either way he spent the money and can do as he wants
Me I will keep working to keep up
Thanks Rod for setting the bar higher,,,,

The majority of the damage was done before Rod. I believe the original post is about the F/SA 1985 Camaro.

Mark,
Thanks for the kind words.
I wasn't the one to hit the 305/263 combo first, I was content running 1.15 under for class with 120 lbs extra in the trunk as this was a mineshaft race. After another racer hit our combo the first round of class. I was pissed off and took 100 lbs out for the next round of class and ran 1.264 under, thinking that the next trigger was 1.30 under. As many know we have run our car between 7-8 tenths under for the last 4 years to keep the average down. Only at Indy last year or open races have we held it all the way down. What really sucks for me personally is losing the record that I set a few weeks earlier at Atco because of someone wanted to go to the pole in qualifying.
