[X-TECH MAN]

The problem is not the fact that these new cars dont have a vin #'s or if they dont come with a rear assembly or have a blower, only 50 exist (so build a clone), etc. Can we say "PAPER CARS" and they are cool. I like the new cars (body styles and technology) and think its good for stock and S/S. The problem is the HP ratings. THAT is the concern of many racers of the old muscle cars and long time "gray beards" in this game. ALL of the engine combos need to be looked at, and RIGHT NOW.....NOT 5 or ten years from now, by a commitie of knowleable racers and engine builders, rated fairly and if the factor puts them at less than 7.5 lbs per HP then.....so be it. They become Super Stockers instead of a really heavy AA/S classed car. If they prove to be over rated somewhat after this is done then pull the HP factor back a little without waiting for the letter writing process requesting a reduction. Do NOT wait for the AHFS to do the job for you. It will never happen. Racers will play the game no matter what. Whats the big deal NHRA and IHRA? The AHFS is long over due to be scraped and eliminate this 1000 foot "dumping". Im sure there are many volenteers who would do this and it would not cost the associations one thin dime other than making a change in the class guide. I guess the higher ups think the racers cannot police themselves and be fair. My 2 1/2 cents.
