I have been enjoying this sport since 1965 longer than some shorter than others...In the begining you sought out a dynamite combo you were sure no one in the world would pick ,you put endless hours into disassembling scraping sound deadner, aftermarket fenders just to pick up 6 lbs. Just so you could possibly have a chance to set a national record..The undisputed fastest car in the country for your class. National record holders would get free admission to the races if posted in dragster....You would paint national record holder with the pride of a new father on your fender....What has happened to this ?????? You ran off of national records no afhs....If you were smart and ingenius enough to hold record you got instant respect from your peers. people would try to duplicate your comb...how is that for an ego trip???How about throwing out the point system because most of us racers cannot afford the traveling road show....and install a national record system...You set national record found to be legal free ride in national and divisional events for the year record was set....if you destroyed record ahfs would kick in and horsepower would be added......Is this concept toooooo simple..We have people right now I would assume that can go faster than 1.15 under but could never get through a tear down...Yet if that combo goes 1.15 under automatically h.p. given. Lets get the juices flowing and put performance not sandbagging into S/SS racing......
