Yes.

[Lee Valentine]

Randy,I was wondering the same thing.

[Robert Simpson]

Who or how did a 55 chevy 150 get 5HP??????? I do not recall any of these cars running much this year, the ones running are not 150 models. Then the Cadillac 350 goes from 200 to 203 hp??? It is 1hp less than a 1-4bbl 265!!!??? Who is driving this ship???

Robert, Larry Schmidt SS/PA 1.10 under at Topeka national event. I don`t think 150 means much, because Larry races a 1955 belair Tom

It was 335 then bishop got it hit to 340 bc he was the only one running it. Then it just got hit again from 340 to 345 (it really should be 348 because they had a trigger over -1.10.)

Tom, there is a difference between 150 and Belairs. The chrome and weight break makes a huge difference. Also, on the NHRA web site they have two different hp's for 55 150's no difference between stick and auto. Am I wrong? I thought the instant trigger was 1.15 not 1.10? Is this a 2.5% hit?

Instant trigger is -1.20 which results in 3.25% hit. If trigger runs (need atleast 2) are -1.000-1.099 but average is above -.85 combo gets 1.25%. If trigger is -1.10-1.199 a 2.25% hit is the result.

Robert, stick 197 hp. auto. 205, Larry ran more than 1 second under 5 or 6 times and hit the trigger, average was more than .85 under, 2.25 hit 5 hp. Tom
