Gump - it's not temporary. The AHFS hasn't been worth a hoot since at least 2008. Not sure that a phone call from the division Monday following the race wasn't more effective because you went fast - continually and had opponents covered by xx rather than a 1 time hit.

Other:

Tech went south when Bruce left. Bruce would tell you that he didn't like something and better have it fixed by next race.

AFHS group at NHRA has no one who is qualified in understanding/building/racing competitively in s/ss. Wesley, Dave, Travis, Bob are not a part of. New guy Lonnie is technical and on AHFS but hasn't been around s/ss racing. Does understand that two identical 350 engines, same Dart head with same runner volumes, one carb, one fi, and very close deck and cc specs should not be rated 400 pounds difference at a 10# weight break. Hope he is a fast learner and doesn't drink the cool-aid.

As far as NHRA struggling financially. I here this all the time and know they have sold off properties etc. Is this a result to improve the bottom line or is there an actual need that they and therefore we, are in a bad way?

Where is the transparency and communication?
