Default Re: AHFS - Good or Bad????

The ahfs could be a fair way of regulating performance in Stock and Super Stock. The problem is with the nhra staff. A few years ago Bob Lang had a strangle hold on the ahfs and he was not at all bashful about abusing the ahfs to go after certain racers while protecting his suck-up pets. Well, now Bob is out of the picture and we once again have nhra staff twisting the ahfs to accomodate the chosen few and punishing the hard working guys. To exempt certain cars/classes from the ahfs while competing in Stock is a fradulent enterprise. And according to Linda Louie (nhra lawyer) that is not meant to happen.

We all know how the system is meant to work. But the nhra staff won't stand for it. There's too much money to be made for that to ever happen.

Sounds a little like our welfare system, worker A works hard and makes too much money so tax him do death. Worker B refuses to work so give him food stamps and a free phone!

Thanks to all who responded.

I didn't realize that this topic had been discussed before -should have checked.

Is there a definitive answer, probably not.

I guess when NHRA is fixed (let's not open that can of worms again), everything will be perfect.

calculate real horsepower.

every run NHRA knows the weight, ET, MPH.

They could calculate HP based on ET and MPH by adding a few spreadsheet columns

Take the top-5, 10, 20, highest HP ratings for that combo, average them, and that's your rated HP. Only when someone makes a run that dips into that top category does it change the average.

This requires changing the class weight breaks to reflect the new ratings. Maybe a 6lbs class is now a 4lbs class.

Working, but still needs some tweaking. The class average needs to go! Now that the new cars are in the Factory Stock and Super Stock classes, and their engines in GT cars are now in a Factory GT class, and FWD and RWD cars are FINALLY separated, we need to just use the overall engine average for each, when it comes review time.

I agree.
