Rockingham is VERY close to being mineshaft while St. Louis is not...wonder why ??

Mighty Quinn,
Please relay to the Captain that it only affects Seaburg's Comet on the US Nationals level, but he is getting closer.

As much as I enjoy the fffordsgetting hits they will never go away from USA ... insane that NHRA 1. Would remove 30-50hp from any engine In ONE action 2. Then add it back one car at a time ... if they ALL got it off in one swipe they should ALL get it back when one gets hit !!!! >> and nothing against guys (& gals) who race them they are taking advantage of the idiotic Glendale employees actions,,, just to be fair I see an RSA 64 nova sporting a 31hp reduction .... Jesus like winning the mega millions > sends letter and stay at home while you become the king of the Qsheet 😞😞😞

Well, Tuesday has come and gone and no HP adjustment. Q sheet shows the 1.25 run, but live timing does not. Agree Jack, they will be in U forever anyway.

As the result of runs under the Automatic Horsepower Factoring System (AHFS) 1.20-second under policy at the NHRA division 3 event, the following change has been made.

The horsepower rating for 1973 Ford Maverick, entries with the 302 cubic inch engine and a factory rating of 138 currently rated at 143, has been increased by seven horsepower, to 150 horsepower; for Stock Eliminator.

NHRA's 2018 Automatic Horsepower Factoring System outlines that any run of 1.20-seconds or more under the index will receive an immediate index decrease or horsepower increase. These changes are effective Oct. 23, 2018.
