The 350/255 Camaro has 19 triggers 281 runs. .745 overall average. No HP will be added. 19 triggers many just below the 1.20 under. Mine were a few thou over the one second under. I'm just using the 350 combo as an example and its nothing against anyone who runs it. Whether it gets HP or not doesn't affect me. My point is with a heavily populated combo it can lower the average very easily. Racers like myself don't have that luxury. And I'm not the only one in this boat. 3 triggers and I get HP. 19 triggers doesn't. The 2 don't add up. Just my opinion.

Bob you are so right - you are not alone - last year I tripped the trigger once - just once and because I'm alone in the class I got a gift from the NHRA - Christmas HP - the HP was bad enough but it took me out of the class and I can't get back in .All that plus it got the rest of the guys with my motor got the HP also and they didn't deserve it.All over one trigger .
