We ran 10.8 and the competition ran 11.0.
Adjusting for track Altitude that would be 10.6
@ Sea level track (We are 2000 Ft above Sea Level).
It was 95 Degrees and the weather station was about
4500 adjusted altitude. This adds about another -.25
to our ET meaning we would have been 10.35 to 10.49
at Sea Level in good to excellent conditions.
If you were watching from the finish line you would have
noticed that Jon got on the brakes very hard @1200 ft. until
the 1320. The competition was tired of looking at Demon tail light
by the and shut off.
The index is 11.90 @ LVMS altitude adjusted. If you go 1.00 under
you get a Strike and if you get two you get you HP rating possibly
adjusted meaning you must add considerable weight. A single run of 1.30
under means permanent instant HP additional added starting the next week.
Our HP initially was 275HP and by now it is 314 HP meaning we are now almost
400 pounds heavier than we were years ago for the same class.
Our competition runs a 350 LT1 that is a true dedicated racing engine that started
@ 370 HP in the Corvette and 360 HP in the Camaro (same engine). NHRA has generously
dropped their engine to 325 HP (I will check later). I wish I could run the big Holley and Aluminum
High Rise intake and Heads that that Corvette special order engine has as well as other enhancements!
