They need to do something about the New cars (hp), triggers, and altitude correction formulas. Unfortunately NHRA will never do anything as long as racers just bitch and complain. Its a shame that they won't do the right thing, but its down right sad that we just allow it. Lack of Huevos on our part.

Hey RJ, it isn't Carson, it's his dad Tracy doing the typing here. I heard that altitude tracks counted for AHFS and that they didn't, just depended on who you talked to, so we had to play it safe. Rick Kagawa would probably put a hit out on us if we got the combo horsepower, and after all, that is my own flesh and blood driving!
If you think were paranoid look what they did with the DP horsepower at the Vegas Div, even NHRA couldn't figure it out for a while.
And hell yes those DP cars could set the record by at least three tenths, just some lousy luck with the weather. We knew we had a very short window to get the record and that we may never have a Rat Motored Chevelle set one again the way things are going.
We were lucky to set it with such a SLOW CAR that could probably never outrun a DP for sure. Thats why we need to give those guys an FX class or something so the slaughtering can stop.
