Automatic Horsepower Factoring System

[Evan Smith]

Bruce,

I have not gone after anyone, as you put it. Instead, I am one to try an find a solution and get on with fixing problems. I know there are problems with the AHFS, which is one reason I threw my name in the hat to be on the committee. I have a real passion, like many on this board, for Class racing and I would like for the hard work of many racers to result in better competition and reward, rather than the constant worry of an hp penalty.

Like many racers, I also tire of those who just complain and offer no solution. I'm just stating my opinion, which I am entitled to, as you do all the time. However, if I hated the state of the union or complained as much as some do I would find another way to spend my money and time. No one is forced to be out here. Again, that is my opinion.

For the record, I don't think the AHFS stinks, I think it stinks that so many people have to sandbag for fear of getting an HP adjustment. Stock and Super Stock are performance-based classes and the current system has not kept up with the ability of the cars. Nor has it kept up with the reward given to those with a fast car. Like you, I feel, no, I know, the triggers are way to low for the capabilities of the cars and the "new" allowable mods. Lowering the indexes is one answer.
