Yes, Jim. This is how the current system is supposed to work.
My reason for getting involved with this is to see more consistency in the process.
For instance , if a guy has a car already that he'd like to race, and it fell within the guidelines put forth, he could just submit a form and then start working on it. By the half year, it would appear in the guide, at the new reduced horsepower rating.
Also , in recent years , we saw just about every 302 2v reduced in every body style, by 30-40 horsepower , in some cases.
Meanwhile another guy with a 305 2bbl. Chevy , in a certain body and year, has to fight for 6 mos., just to get 4 hp off it.
Fair is fair ...20 % off for every one , or for no one.
