Re: 2008 Mid Year Stock, Super Stock Horsepower Adjustments Announced
Thumbs up to the guys who actually run their cars down the track like the race cars they are.
The AHFS is not fair for the combo's with small car #'s, period. It's NHRA's ignorance to "award" HP on different body types with same engines yet throw you in with others when they want to. You all know it's the owner/drivers ability to make the car go down the track, not the body type, the $$ (it helps) or East or West of the Rockys.
You seen what the 396 guys did for their combo, make some calls, play some games. Works out as long as you have enough cars in the combo and races to go to. Stock racing is not just racing anymore with a "performance based race car" but how to play a game.
Keep your eye on the "six pack" hit, I don't think it said "B body only", and if it did, well, NHRA could lump all the six packs together as they have for other combos.
If everyone would just remember why they race S/SS, performance, flat out drag racing, and run their cars like a "real" race car not a reality game show maybe NHRA could do away with AHFS and support the racers like years ago.
Just how many of you like to see guys "lifting", it sucks to be there and see that, might as well be a ".90"class. I remember when everyone actually ran them out the door, now it's the "class" in class racing thats gone out the door.
