I would love to see 1971 engine :(:(rules all over again so the damn engine would not cost $20,000 to $35,000 and you could run it all year !!!!!!!

I would freeze the rules and focus more on at least more random checks as noted elsewhere. The fact that a racer ran a bracket engine enough to qualify for the all stars shows the need for more enforcement.

Also, consider some hp changes outside of AHFS as needed.

How about the same guy that got the Ford 302 2 barrels the big gift?

I would be in favor of freezing the rules.

Hard to go back in time without changing HP factory.

Most of my racers had very little valve spring pressure and
would not fall out of a tree.

I would love to see Bo Derek or even J Lo walk through my bedroom door tonite, but I don’t think it’s going to happen.......

Ya know, sometimes I just don't understand what the NHRA is looking for or at. At first when "the same guy" who f**ked up and gave the 302s "the big gift" gave them "the big gift", I was pissed. UNTIL I saw how many got built and raced. Shouldn't the NHRA be considering participation even after a f**k up and a "big gift"? Maybe we need some more f**k ups and "big gifts".

Yes. How about some "calculated" changes to generate interest? Seems that so many of the changes are not well thought out and often have unintended consequences that hinder participation.

Also, there needs to be fresh thinking to be able to break out of the current "formula" of 50-year old cars to expand the category.
