HP Reduction Request

Proposal # 1 looks good !

proposal # 2 , ummm, well, proposal # 1 looks better.

I had a discussion with a ( now new) Division director about this same subject several months back.

There are combos in the classification guide that have not been tried due to the factored h.p. being too high.

We both agreed that if NHRA made a 20% hp reduction for all OBD II cars it would allow racers to get these '96 and newer car (that are cheap on car lots right now) onto the track.

From there the AHFS will take over.

I consider my mid 80's T-Bird an ancient car now. I cannot imagine how hard it would be to find a nice condition 60's-70's car at a decent price, in decent condition and priced low enough that you can afford to cut on it and put a roll bar in it.
