For NHRA's Perusal:

ALMACK · 09-19-2017, 01:38 PM

About 2 years ago ( or it might have been last year) a certain racing rep. for one of the big 3 automakers tried to get hp reductions on some combos.

He was trying for a 20 % or so reduction on combos that are rarely used. ( mostly OBD II combos already in the classification guide )

Anyways, he went to Calif. to talk to NHRA about it but did not have any luck.

some of those combos would be interesting to see at the track

So NHRA should blanketly reduce HP on thousands of combos without even. Being asked and with NO REGARD for the consequences including the ruining of hundreds of thier dues paying members current combos ??? Are you guys on the crack pipe or wtf ??? Did you guys not see the FARCE that was Indy #1-2qualifiers ???

Jack, those Fords would not have qualified for reduction, under our proposal. That combo was already being raced. It should have had to go through the normal channels.It was already a record holding combo. I think it's fair to say that it was just a f-up , plain and simple.
But be that as it may, how many cars would have been in U/SA , without the 302's?
That would be one, correct?
I don't think that would have been so great for the long term health of your class. Just sayin'.
