After further internal conversations as well as discussions with the SRAC, the NHRA Technical Department has reconsidered the recent horsepower adjustments which were announced on August 6, 2013. All announced adjustments will be reverted back to their original values prior to the August 6th announcement. These combinations will be reviewed during the standard end of the year review.

When is the Classguide going to be changed back? It still shows the horsepowers as of 8/6/13. How can we be sure what the old horsepowers were without NHRAracer.com changing the data back?

Sure seems like that reconsideration bulletin was a smoke screen...

After one session:

1 3499 U/S Gary Summers, Franklin KY, '78 Mustang 13.255 14.65 -1.395

The second run, he just ran 13.00, at only 89 mph (-1.64 and change).

Yes, I bought Marty Buth's ol' 1986 Turbo Coupe four cylinder car.
Real happy with the purchase too....set all of the Q/SA records that day in May with it in my first NHRA event.

I tried more boost (accidently) , but without an intercooler (which isn't allowed) the extra heat generated negated any gain. It was a wash.

From here I need to focus on suspension mods to gain an extra 5 hundreths or so. Car has stock 1986 rear control arms and springs, stock 1986 quad shocks and stock '86 front struts and springs. Lotsa room for improvement.

However, I will say that I don't have many runs with the car, so I still have a lot of experimenting to do ( i.e. shift points, stronger brakes for more stall, lowering the front end, etc. )

Car ran in the 11's a couple of years ago in 45 deg. air in Michigan. (with Marty driving)
LOL...the little 4 that could.

Yep....Mr. Summers is 1.6xx under....again.

Of course NHRA "gifted" him 23 h.p. ( on Aug 6th) .
Was 162 and now 139 hp.

Good for him.
