Travis,

So why not go one step further and post a form on the NHRARacer.com site with all of the information needed to evaluate a horsepower change request? This would benefit the NHRA because the data would be in a consistent format making the review process simpler and easier for the review committee. It would benefit racers by ensuring all the data required to evaluate their request was submitted - no more "incomplete request."

Just a thought...

Larry just read the page on AHFS. It is very clear what you need to do.

You know I've received several emails from respected racers I know saying the same thing. I hope to hell this isn't happening. If it is I hope you feel all warm and fuzzy inside if you have done this. What a joke.

The fastest run that I can find for your engine is -1.04 by Mike Jeffery at Earleville this year. 14.58 on a 15.50. Jim

I think that should be 14.458 so the math works out at -1.042

Ed, this is another reason why I'm looking forward to San Antonio and the IHRA, because at least there you'll be .3 quicker against your index, your wallet will have more in it, due to the lower entry fees for national/divisional events, and you'll get two races in one weekend (March-April Pro-Am)! Furthermore, you'll be able to race Memorial Day Weekend for $5,000 plus contingencies for an entry fee that's $105 dollars less! Reading another thread here about the aluminum cylinder heads being approved now for Stock/Super Stock, makes me wonder if that rule change will allow me to use the OEM ('87 & newer) aluminum cylinder heads that 173c.i. V6's came with on my Cavalier? For some reason, I doubt it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ED, and see you next year???
