Re: AHFS details
Wastin' time
This "simple" AHFS system (Len Imbrogno) has been a tangled mess from the beginning; NHRA explanations, Dragster articles, web site clarifications repeated tech inquiries, calls, SRA, SRAC....whatever...it is poorly written policy open to interpretation, which is just what bureaucratic organizations want. We got bit a few years ago when our 1.15 hits (two) were done in different segments....we thought we were safe according to the printed rules at the time, and our opinion was confirmed by: Jeff Tueton, Nitro Joe, Div 5 tech officials, but subsequently overruled by Bob Lang with the following statement: "you just get it....if you don't like it, race someplace else"
It has been interesting to me to watch other racers impacted unfairly to finally "get it" and complain. I and a few others were banging this drum many years ago....only to fall of deaf ears. Years ago some thought NHRA just wanted to get rid of us (S & SS)....oh no, NHRA protested, S & SS are the "backbone" of our sport, but you couldn't dream up a better scheme if you tried than to enhance us out of the picture one dumb move after another.
It seems as if NHRA is drugged up on TV money, but as the Pros slowly implode with this economic tsunami, the Sportsman continue to build $75,000+ cars to race for chump change, because we are hooked on our hobby
Too bad NHRA knows this
