With a 138 cap, I'll be there too... and possibly the lowest hp car in the field!

Hi Eric, are the numbers below for the 09-10 Miller Nationals numbers that you got from Ryan or are these numbers from the internet? If the 143 number shown is one you got from me or from a post I made that was from 2010 At Buttonwillow before Nationals and should not be used he as a comparrison. That same car at Nationals at Miller dynoed at 137. I was using this as a comparison for variations in dynos.

This was also a car that had a head on it that became illegal after Nationals based on the head thickness rule. I installed a Milledge head after Nationals to keep in compliance with the new rules for heads. The car HP did not change.

I am also unclear about the HP ratings for the 2012 Nats. You have 141, 140.5 and 136 listed. In a post made today you are quoting smaller numbers for your car. Please clarify.

Thanks,

Charlie, I'll do my best. I was not at Miller, and did not see every dyno there, so those years are less clear.

2007 - 137, 135 (few dynos done)
2008 - 139 (first "pro-built" motor), 137 (still few dynos, second pro built motor blew up before tested)
2009, 2010 (Miller) 143, 139 (may be others)
2011 - 139, 138, 135
2012 - 141, 140.5, 136

With Nationals back at Miller, we expect a bigger turnout, and a bigger number of highly tuned cars for 2013.

This only represent cars that showed up at Nationals, not all the dynos we see and evaluate.

What question do have on the formula?
At the suggestion of John Brown, I changed how it was typed to be more mathematically correct, but it should be clear.

Eric the video is entertaining but does not show a HP disparity. It shows different driving styles and line selection.

We each had our areas of strengths, and a significant amount of defensive driving was involved. I don't want to get into a dissection of the video - this is not the place, but I put it out there as a point of reference, guys can judge for themselves. We don't need to speculate on the HP differences, we know what those are.

[Edit] I missed the last post from Charlie, and I'm going to retract my question.

The other 140HP+ car did not make the final race. This was highest HP, not finishing order. My car was at 135-136, depending on the run/computer, at nationals, as I stated. I don't know what "smaller figure" you're referring to, but I am done dissecting specific figures here, this is getting silly.

Norm if you are counting votes , here are the car numbers from last years vote in the RMR.

100% all in favor of a power cap

Thanks Eric and regional series directors for "low cost equal racing" !
