I know I spoke at length (as have many) about the lack of AHFS for the FSS race.

Now, let me play devils advocate. I spoke about this on our radio show last night: how do you add HP to an 'artificial' class with an artificial weight and do it fairly? Example: BB/SA is a 7.00 pounds per HP + 170 class. A 427 COPO would run this, at whatever the minimum weight is and a 10.30 Index. It would run FS/B with a 10.35 Index at a 3,350 pound flat min wt. FSS is an abnormal class, Index and weight compared to traditional Stock Classes. It maybe be +/- 100 or so pounds, with a different Index than AA, BB, CC, etc. So, in a way, I don't know how you fairly add HP to it. That is why I proposed what I did on page 20 of the What's Wrong With Stock thread. That would increase FSS participation and allow for the AHFS to work normally.
