The racers that want to go fast will, no matter what. The guys who don't want to be fast won't be fast. If AHFS was run in it's purist form it would probably end Stock Eliminator. Everybody with a MOPAR 340 or a 305 Camaro would get a horsepower hit. The racers that ran 1.50 under would run .50 under and the racers that ran .85 under would run .15 over. It would turn Stock into Comp where only the strong survive no matter what.
This is exactly how I feel, Bob is better versed and educated in the class arena than I am, therefore his explanation nails it for me. I'll just assume the NHRA allows everyone to show the potential sans the penalty at the most prestigious race of the year.

Indy is the only place ahfs would help even things out and award earned HP
This isn't about the U/SA of the world
It was done to save the NEW CARS getting factored out of STOCK
Bowling Green's Sportnationals is an example of Ahfs in play verses not in play . Or Gainesville. Racer's run just fast enough to get the job done . No killer runs, no showing off their hot rods potential. Why turn Indy into just another National event ?
In my opinion It would just force everybody into protect mode, like any other race... Let'em continue to fly at Indy......

Hey Barry....nice to hear from you. I just wrote you this really long windy super intelligent straight to the point response to you message.....but couldn't figure out how to send it. Doh!! I guess I'm a bigger dumbass than I showed in my original post.

All is well in Bakersfield other than 60+ days of 100+ degree heat. I'll just keep bitching until somebody agrees with me or feeds me a poisoned burrito. (Don't tell my wife she'll be in the refried beans aisle at Vons tonight).

Mark, nobody shops at Vons. They have transgender bathrooms.

I'd bet your building it for the same reason I built mine ... you love the package. You don't have to be the fastest to enjoy the participation experience as much as anyone else out there. The nostalgia factor for yours is through the roof! All the best to you for getting it done!

You're exactly right, Bill. I'd never consider another body style, and since they're a bit of a rarity these days, I'm looking forward to having something that's a throwback to the good ole days. It's def. a learning curve from what I'm used to...Thanks for the support, and best of luck to you as well.

Are there any REAL STOCKERS like say a 1969 Camaro that can run 1.50 under??

No, John. Probably not. That's because everyone has or had one, and wanted to show how fast they were. That's just the nature of hp to weight classification.
There is one that runs 1.20 -1.30 under but most folks wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.
It's always going to be the guys who aren't afraid to try something new, that stand out from the crowd.

Lotta truth to that statement. Still though, not everyone has the same motivation or objectives. For some, it's the love of the game.
