Ok not 100% - good

Since I am up waiting on football I am going to give you my opinion. Now admittedly you will figure I am wrong but here goes. I thought NHRA was all about (in stock) hp to weight.

I do not know when we decide the same engine in a different car should have less hp. It is ridiculous. I have raced the Chevelle with the same combo I have in the Camaro. You know what the engine did not tell me it deserved more hp in the new combo.

The AHFS can not be perfect, it needs and deserves change. Any system should undergo regular changes from its initial format in order to accept input and reality adjustments as times, equipment and technology improve. The system must improve overtime.

As to whether NHRA is a democracy, I would say it is not, it is a rule establishment organization focused on safety.

When will some thing like this be addressed - The Mopar combo in my class that has 40 more cubic inches and weighs an astonishing 400 pounds less. Both are 4 barrels. No chance in class or heads up. Either gigantic difference (40 cubic inches or 400 pounds) would be enough.

The best game in town is avoiding the AHFS hit. "Take care of your HP (AHFS)" is a comon phrase by most who are at the top of the performance curve.

But like it use to be in the old west - there is always a faster gun.
