Evan,

Counting all runs would make sense if we ran the identical combinations, on the same racing surface on the same day. But there are way, way too many variables to attempt to apply one strict rule to govern performance.

This is simply a way for nhra to control performance on the cheap. Len's first post stated very clearly that the majority of the racers were not for -1.15 at divisional races -- His words--"While there have been a large number of racers over the last several years who have asked for division event to be included in the AHFS, there does not appear to be a majority of racers who want this to happen." From the spin doctor himself.

There would be no incentive for working on our cars because nhra has already allowed enough parts to put most of us who are serious about performance over the mark. We can run in Jr. & Top Stock in Div. 1 and be safe from this lunacy but that is not an option for most of the racers.

With rare exception, there is not much difference in performance between altitude and sea level tracks. Some fast folks may miss their tune up when moving between them but the real problem is, as you mentioned, there is no ahfs to speak of at altitude tracks. And that would mean most of the national records would be set at altitude while the majority of the racers back east would be shut out unless they throw caution to the wind. And there is absolutely no reason to believe nhra intends to change this rule.


Mark, did you read Len's first post on this thread? Thanks for your tips on manners but this is a two way street we are on here. And besides, do you know how to communicate with people who are consumed with corporate narcissism?
