All of these people across social media making long winded statements about how they aren't going to Indy, yet Stock is still overfull, and the entry list in Super Stock keeps increasing in size by the day. Interesting....

Maybe we should just get rid of the AHFS entirely and go back to when HP was given at NHRA's discretion like they did in the "good 'ole days." News flash, if they get rid of the AHFS entirely, and people start showing the numbers they worked/paid so dearly for, the NHRA still has the right to give them horsepower anyway... Back in the day at least they would usually make an effort to determine a car was legal before whacking an entire combo.

My opinion may be skewed because all of my stuff is "junk," but I really don't understand who everyone is "saving" these combos for anyway. Unless you come from a racing family, no one my age and younger is going to decide to run Stock or Super Stock, so you aren't saving it for the "youngsters." The median age of racers in our classes is probably somewhere in the 60s, with a decent number in their mid to late 70s and early 80s, and last I checked, HP factors don't matter much in the nursing home, so saving it for yourself is a battle that no one wins unless you're immortal. I just don't get it.
