Automatic Horsepower Factoring System

AHFS system is saved by the fact that humans make the final judgment except in extreme cases. Humans are flawed too, but it keeps the AHFS somewhat under control and provide a flawed but reasonable snap shot of performance.

The AHFS is just a tool. It could be way better, but it is still better than nothing. It is like using a hammer and chisel to cut your toe nails.

1.) It artificially keeps all the "fast" bogus combos on top
2.) It does nothing to separate good and bad tracks.
3.) It uses false statistical data to determine unfair HP ratings vs. a good innovative racer
4.) It falsely assumes apples and oranges are the same.
5.) It is corrected by some good humans that know the difference when it raises its ugly head
6.) It does nothing for the improvement of performance of after market parts.
7.) It is way better than doing nothing, but could be dramatically and statistically improved.

All of these things could be accomplished with very little work or expense. It just takes the willingness to do so.
