S/SS - Lower the index -0.50 & run Pro ladder

Mark Yacavone · 09-06-2008, 01:28 PM

Mark , Of course, not with all combinations. I'm talking about cars that are underfactored to begin with.

Example 1, 78 400 Firebird. We ran 11.80's on a 13 flat index , 10 years ago @ 260 hp . Those cars have been hit several times ,but now run in the low elevens @ 280 plus hp .Without the AHFS, they'd still be in L/SA.

Example 2, There was a V/Stock car in an IHRA final recently, right around the index.
I know of atleast one turbo combo that has already been 1.80 under ( of course, not at an NHRA event)

Some of you guys are missing the point. I don't care if it's 1.80 under or 2.20 under. it's still ridiculous

No index reductions and no HP hits? How long before you just call this Bracket Two or maybe Affirmative Action Eliminator ?
