What is the fastest run by a Hemi car in NHRA competition? Add 7 tenths to that and make that the index
Nhra adds 2 new comp classes
- Thread starter deuces wild
- Start date
8.210 fastest SS/AH ever run. Not too many SS/AH cars have even been close. I think Bucky ran 8.28 at the divisional in Virginia. 8.30 would be a good base, ie 9.00 index using your logic Brian.
9.00 would still be only .45 under at Indy though w/o some rule liberalization. And lets not forget the Sunoco fuel in the mix
it would be better than what it is now. Im going to run comp at Charlotte
Best of luck, Bucky.. it would be nice to have a "fair" index for that class... BUT, did Gator bring that monkey piss, known as Sunoco Race Fuel, into the conversation.. I wonder if Bucky could shed some testing insight one that issue.. like a run where only the fuel is changed, not tune up changes.. BE CAREFUL NOW...
I think a logical approach to the index for the AH cars in Super Mod. would be:
Make an excel file with the following columns.
Column A = each super modified class index.
Column B = each national record for each class.
Column C = Column A - Column B.
Compute the average of column C.
Take this value and add it to the current SS/AH national record.
This a simple and sensible method to compute the index.
Thanks, Ron

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 are only -.60, -.51, and -.54).
Now do you use the 8.21 record or the current listed record of 8.48 as your baseline.
