If what you say is accurate about hp reduction then you are correct, 360hp at 2.25% should have received 8hp reduction not 35. been that way for 20 yrs Watched this race earlier and if not for a red light itwas going to be a close race! What does that say about the car's hp in the other lane? Both cars are fast and a LITTLE under factored!!!!! LOL

This is just one example among many across all brands that this has happened to. It was over 20 years ago by Larry's info,, so who knows. This particular engine is the original LT1, 360 in a Camaro and 370 in a Corvette, in 71 they had less compression and were 320 and 330 if my memory is correct. I believe that the stock and SS rating may have been both lowered at the same time. There are some running in both stock and SS.

Being a performance person, these races are ones I look forward to seeing. Jerry and Andrew have been great drivers for a long time. Too bad Jerry just barely missed the tree. It would have been interesting two really fast cars. Runs like these should be more the norm. Great to watch and guess who will win on that given day. It's too bad the AHFS the way it is written now for me has ruined a big part of Stock I enjoyed. Now almost everyone is trying to go .65 to .85. under. Sad to watch !! I don't get it. BP

Mr Hill doesn't seem too worried about it, running 1.01 under , and putting himself in the hp pool this morning.
Keep it up ,and maybe the 400 Pontiac, with NO aftermarket heads will catch up a bit.

The point of the post was how does a combination receive a reduction of 35 Hp in Super Stock using the rules as written wit a maximum of 2.25%. The starting Hp would have to be 1555 Hp X 2.25 %=
34.9875 rounded up 35 Hp reduction. How does that happen and how did it happen on a 420hp reduced to 405 Hp. |

If this bothers you this much, why not go to the source instead of an open debate forum? And Happy Birthday!?
