CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Word is 1.15 under for AHFS at Opens and Divisional races

If the AHFS is applied at division races there would be no incentive left to work , invest , develop, or build any new engines , any old junk in the back corner will play ball then. The smile that you get at the ET shack from a fast run will be over and probably most of us that have supported superstock for over 30 years will be too. When i first started, I never made the show at national events, couldn't go fast enough. NO ONE listened to any crying then. They said, "go work on your car young man " . I did, I learned , worked hard, tested and then before long I qualified. As In any motorsport someone will always be faster at best. NHRA divisional and National Events were never for the Saturday-nite racer. It was then and still is the top of the mountain for a sportsman racer. It was never intended to be EASY. Go bracket race if you don't want to work, but leave the rest of us who enjoy the competition and challenge alone. Don Barber
