This is done to better react to any out-of-line indexes or under-horsepowered combinations. Therefore, at all such events, a 3.25 percent horsepower adjustment or index reduction will be initiated Tuesday following the event. The decision to adjust horsepower or to reduce the index will be at the discretion of the NHRA Tech Department

I think they changed the wording this year but the way I read it 1.25 under gets you HP at Vegas or any altitude track.

Nope.. Been there ,done that, this year... Also ,McClanahan's run at Fallon got him hp ,by accident...Since rescinded.

Won't make any difference if it is 50 lbs over C/SA weight as Toby reported.

It will still make B/SA and will not have to change the weight

Well, if it's true they can't get it any lighter, it will be a C only car next year because you can't weigh more than the minimum for the next heavier class. Once they get some more HP it won't be a problem though.

That is what I am saying Toby

Give it 20 HP and it is a "B" car and it is already the correct weight

If it does not get HP- it moves down to "C" and will be an even faster "C" car to the index

Complicated sometimes to figure out what should be done

Of course I am hoping for a couple of FX classes with one for V10s only - LOL

:-) peace

The 12 HP that the LS1 received was returned, its back to 342 for the ram air/ss hood combo. However, it was not because it was at a factored track. It clearly states in the new rules that factored tracks are included in the instant hit when going 1.25 or more under. The LS1 was singled out when it was given the 12 HP (there were several other cars that went more than 1.25 under and did not get HP) This was pointed out and presented to the committee.

Okay, whatever the reasoning behind it, no cars got hp this year for running 1.25 under a factored index. I was one, Byron Setters, Angelo Phillips and a couple more.
Seeing it's still the same year, I wouldn't expect to see it happen.
Next year , with a revised or rewritten rule and a prominent warning, it probably WILL happen.
Then again, who knows?

Grossi went 1.251 under at Vegas Jan a year ago and got 9 HP.

Mark Yacavone, it still shows McClanahan 2002 Pontiac Firebird got hp. on 7/10/10. Tom

Frank ran an 8.997 which was 1.403 under the sea level index. It was 1.663 under the altitude adjusted index. 1.4 under the index received automatic HP last year.
