It has to be in the exact same class too.

I did not know that.
That is very helpful info.

Earlier this year another racer on the left coast screwed up and ran a 1.19 and a 1.07 under with the same combo that I run.
I had thought of driving 300 miles to a division race for the sole purpose of pulling the combo's average down below .850 by making a few of .375 under passes.

I never went and h.p. is coming for the combo but now knowing it has to be the same exact class is helpful.
Thanks Mark

Al this is why I normally make slower runs in all 3 classes that my combo fits throughout the year. I didn't make any in H this year and it almost cost me but thanks to a racer on the west coast we were able to get it under control. It pays to know and understand how this works and keep a close watch on it. Towing 300 miles is alot cheaper than trying to find 4 or 5 hundredths!

And this all goes away if they take away class heads up. No more non stop BS.

You’re calling that a solution?

Unfortunately there are a few models/platform that offered the same engine size but different HP ratings and you’re not sure when a car unfamiliar to you has busted the average and you can’t react before it’s too late. Afraid that’s what has happened to me when they announce the revised ratings next month. Oh well, at least it shouldn’t be too large a hit but I would have towed to Rockingham (300 miles) even though I wasn’t quite ready with the car if I had known.

This was on the table but thankfully common sense prevailed. As was pointed out to me, there is already a class with NO heads up.....Bracket 2 Non Delay.....

I would have went to the points meet, gas and entry is WAY cheaper than finding more HP......
