And at least Ford is making plans for the next two years. At this rate, no matter how well the AHFS works, or how often it is triggered, there'll always be another killer or three ready to hit the track with a bogus factor that'll take years to reign in.

Outside of guys who race every weekend, like Fletcher, Biondo, the Richardsons, Rampy, and Bertozzi, all guys I know well and respect, most average racers may only be in a position to win a national event maybe 5 times in their life, if they race for 10-20 years. So, when they draw one of those bogus cars heads up, especially in the later rounds when they might just be on track to one of those rare shots at a win, it is really huge, especially for them. It's not just that the bogus cars might win a race, it's that they can easily prevent someone else from getting anything close to a fair shot at it.
You are right about the second year I meant first year they had to show what they had.
How about running class at more places. This would force things along quicker
