Automatic Horsepower Factoring System

Bruce Noland · 04-02-2008, 03:12 PM

We are not bracket racing. There are more than a few of us who still believe in the performance angle of this sport. The indexes need to be lowered atleast .20 and probably more like .30 if they come up with a new generous runner rule.

For those of you who want to go back to the good old days of men with agendas making horsepower decisions - don't look now because that is happening right now. The fact that nhra or Lucas has some language about the ahfs on their sites dosen't mean a damn thing. Because we have one little guy who is making all the decisions as he sees fit and we just roll over and give this guy what ever he wants when ever he wants it. He doesn't own or race a car so it's no sweat off his butt when he decides to back stab a combination and he has done this to many combinations; not just one. Know what I mean Wesley?

Evan, I read your post about how the ahfs stinks. Then you go after us for bitching without offering solutions. Many people are in favor of lowering the indexes. That is the best way to stop the bitching. Lower the indexes .30 and leave the ahfs trigger at -1.15. nhra has given us +30 horsepower in changes and done nothing to account for the increased performance. And then nhra adds insult to injury by giving horsepower to those racers who best exploit the accepted chnages. Total, TOTAL BS!

Right now NO racer should totally believe anything posted on the nhra or Lucas site about the ahfs. These guys have betrayed our trust too many times.
