Mr. fixit, here is the web site that explains all the rules, and participants.

Results are based on results of 3 Dyno pulls, where the avg. of the 3 HP and Torque numbers are averaged and added together for a total. The winning BBF had a number of 1178. Here is the example from the web site;
PULL #1 AVG. TQ = 482 AVG. HP = 421
PULL #2 AVG. TQ = 485 AVG. HP = 423
PULL #3 AVG. TQ = 484 AVG. HP = 422
AVG. TQ 483.6 + AVG. HP 422 = 905.6 SCORE
If you like engines and the art/science of making power, I think you'll find it interesting.
