8.997 in GT/AA ?

Smitty, you are correct on the HP on the 350.

First I want to say congrats to Frank and his crew on an outstanding run!!

How don't some of you understand this whole AHFS yet?? If horsepower is given to a combination, and that combo happens to be the record holder, that record goes back to a minimum!! So he did set the record with his run, but that record goes back to the minimum once the horsepower is assessed! He will still get his paper from NHRA stating he set the record.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm 99.9% sure I'm correct.

Bryon,

I understand it the same way you do.

He did correctly set the record.

However, once the combo was no longer legit (weight), the record went back to the minimun.

Bryon

I think your understanding was correct several years ago but has since been changed. In May of 07 I set the SS/KA record on a plus -1.40 run that resulted in 9 HP. The record is still current in the National Record Listings. One of those unpublished deals kind of like putting power on a combination at a factored track, wasn't supposed to happen. Since running at factored tracks was new to me I asked that ? when we were in Vegas last Fall. The answer was you can run as fast as you want at a factored track without triggering the AHFS. I then asked if someone was to run -2.00 under what happened the answer was NOTHING it was wide open. There is no mention of factored tracks at all under the AHFS section on NHRAcom. (that I could find).

In any event congratulations to Frank and Phil on a hell of a good pass.

Dave
