There is a new "real" comp car that most likely can go -.90+, but why would they? Just because an index is soft and a fast guy shows up doesn't make it any less of a comp car. Especially when the class has been around for 10+ years. There have been a few .80-.90+ cars in the last 10-20 years...

Does anyone have this info saved anywhere? Rickie Smith went [email protected] in his nitrous pro mod. I'm assuming thats the ET record, but not sure if a turbo car has been higher speed.

I would check with Jonnie Lindberg too. SUPER talented guy and his builds look and perform really well.

I think another casual fan friendly aspect of this is that it's a half second quicker showing up on the board. I think it's gonna look a lot cooler seeing 6.67 on the board vs a 7.17!

Any real BB car will pretty much be obsolete if that's the case. The ford being 327 with BB weight would be 200lbs lighter than they are in FX! That would have to easily be a 1.xxx under car.

Does anyone know how close the current FX cars are to fitting in BB?

If you start taking index hits for qualifying runs too its going to cause much more sandbagging in comp qualifying than there already is.

Looking at the results it looks like he bought or was given 2 wins lol!

Did some leg work back to 2009. This really shows just how comical the current index is.

I just did this using actual record runs listed and not the minimum required. The average of all /SM records is -.728, average of all /SMA is -.658, and average of all SM/SMA records combined is -.696. If you take the average of all SM/SMA that are over -.61 its -.751. (F/SM, F/SMA, and H/SMA...

Wow I didn't realize how much the fords were helped this year. Skillman went 7.704 at Brandenton, .766 under this comp index at the NMCA event. Next closest non ford would have only been .536 under though! Here is a link to the qualifying sheet if you are interested...

Honestly both indexes look a bit shit. They are just now dipping in the 7's with the absolute best FSS cars. I would think those guys wouldn't even run comp to begin with. NHRA should put .20 on top of both of those indexes so there are at least a few cars that can even go .60 under. At this...

Looks like Lingenfelter ran a 6 in 1986 and Gray went 200 in 1993.

Is it exactly as your car sits now or do you get to add more power? If its as it sits, easy $10k pay day for the pro stocker!

Yeah that is what I was thinking until I saw the updated personal index list and he wasn't on there. Thought possibly they did something different I was not aware of.
