HP adjustments after Carolina?

Actually, speed has a lot to do with it, just *different* from closing rate. The faster you're going, the more distance per time you cover. Top Dragsters taking .001 at 190 mph is a few inches. A Jr. Dragster taking .001 at 70 mph is much tighter!

I've raced a few 1000' events, and find it to be the best of both worlds. Closer handicaps like 1/8th, but bigger speeds like 1/4 mile. From 1000' on, you're just ridin'.

For me, I like 1000'......eighth a little quick but better than not racing. My 265 is puking it's guts after 1250 anyway. A lotta bad can happen after 1000

CRAP! Not even built yet and my combo is getting hit! Oh well, 7hp won't make the difference of qualifying or not...I think. LOL!

The hp on the 93-98 camaro was figured on ss instead of stock ...I have corrected it on the first reply #31.....
