Thanks Chad Loge for the extra hp on the six pac!!! We appreciate it.

Good job protecting the combination by going too far under while getting out ran on a heads up run by a tenth!

Doesn't matter to you guys it is still only 405 hp in the cuda, correct?

Can anyone explain how the AHFS works for modified stuff? How are they grouped etc?

NHRA's article states that 70-71 autos with the 440-6 are rated at 417, but the classification guide still shows the '70 Cuda @ 405 hp.

The B-body 70-71 is the six pac that was hit, the E-body guys have been smarter about going fast. The B-body has been more than the E-body for a couple of years now thanks to the west coast guys not thinking. Funny thing is they always loose two tenths going over the rockies.

The part that stinks is the six pac, 396, and LS-1 all get hit, but NO ONE can run with Hawk. He get's a thumbs up in my book on protecting his combination.

I feel compelled to reply to Mr. Worner's comments, only because of how it was said.

Last year he or his brother cornered my daughter one time at the races when I mistakenly went more than 1.15 under and proceeded to tell her what they thought.

Now 1 year later I have two phone calls telling me it is on the internet that I have upset Mr. Worner. Several times at the race track he could have told me face to face what he thought but didn't. I have the most respect for his dad and probably raced him many times before he was born. It is just too bad he did not inherit his dad's integrity.

For most people who know me, I have run GT/BA just so the system would not give the LT1 horsepower and got beat two times because of that.

We are running on a seven year old system when there has been a 40-50 horsepower gain on almost any engine out there. The system is a deterrent on making cars run faster in a performance class.

I will say two more things: 1. I am 64 years old and this is the only hobby I have had for the last 40 years. I have always done it with my family. I can probably only do this for a few more years, no matter how goofed up the system is. 2. Now that Mr. Worner has shot off his mouth indirectly again, I will let my car do the talking from here on out.

Adger, mister common sens is not very proficient at the English language, but I will attempt to answer your question. I believe what he was trying to say was to get rid of the trigger so that everybody could run it all the way out without being penalized.
A couple of years I recieved HP for what Clayton Wright and Dick Moreland did at Atco. Before that, I had been persuaded by friends to put my car on a diet so I removed alot of weight in alot of different areas. Thanks to Clayton and Dick I had to put all the weight I had pulled out back in. The day prior to them setting the record, Dick called me up and informed me of what they were planning to do at Atco and what my thoughts were, if they should go for it or not knowing that there would be a HP adjustment to my car, even though I have a smaller carb. My response was "go for it, records are made to be broken, we are in a performance based class" I was not upset with them and congratulations go to them. Maybe some of this camaradarie should be applied in other classes.
If you got a fast car you should be able to go fast.
