looks like letter is working for some
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.
