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

I think there are one or two fast racers who are for making 1.15 under at Divisionals the new mark and yet the majority of the racers still oppose any changes. And I'm not sure that the fast racers who are for it aren't hedging a little with their endorsement of the -1.15 number.

You guys have to remember that nhra has been allowing tons of go fast parts for the past ten years. Now they want to slow all the racers down who worked hard on their combinations by taking a broad brush stroke and erasing ten years of approving parts and modifications.

There are some folks who are limited as what they can do with their combinations but there are others who choose not to work hard or to spend the money necessary to go fast and yet they are in the minority of racers who seem to be the most vocal on this issue. Look at their numbers.

We are still in a performance sport and I am absolutely opposed to snuffing out the only bit of tradition that we have left.
