"The class review revealed that K/SA had a class/engine average for the combination in question of 1.101-second under, therefore surpassing the 0.850-second-under requirement and signaling a horsepower adjustment for all 305/215/241 FI Camaros."

Sounds like 1.01 trigger, and the average has to be faster than .85 under for a hit.

Sounds like everyone is getting the drift. Also a racer that runs two runs between 1.00 and 1.19 at the same event triggers the review.

Except when they do it only in qualifying. Say a racer runs 1.05 under and 1.03 under during qualifying, that only counts as one trigger since only the 1.05 under run shows on the final qualifying sheet.

I just keep learning about this! Last year I was told 1st round of class was the only class round that counted. That never did make sense to me. Also did not know only the fastest qualifying time counted. Used to be just Farmer's call. LOL.

The data from before the hit is irrelevant. Once it has been hit, the factor has changed, and the previous data no longer matches the current combination. How would you accurately correlate previous data to a car now running heavier, or in a different class, or both?

Makes perfect sense.

I've never made perfect sense in my life.

[Ed Wright]

I think you usually do.

What I'm saying is:
An auto hit should also trigger a rewiew of the class average at that time before the data is thrown out.

Soft combos are exactly that "SOFT"

I don't care how hard you work on your car. Blah Blah Blah

The fact remains a "soft combo" will still be at the top of the heap until it is reeled in like the tried and true combos.

It is my experience that the "Soft Combos" are usually in the wrong class to begin with. based on carb size, head cc's, valve size, cubic inches etc.

My question to all.......

Should any combo ever be rated lower than the factory HP rating?
