TOO many MOTORS which vary by one cc head spec. one casting number different, one lobe spec. NO ONE will every correct them all to be even with the open books to keep looking.
Want to fix it? Limit motor choices but in any of the car bodies. The smaller the number the easier to control. One 350 chevy 67-72 One set of specs one HP. Too limiting? do you want to fix it? Do you want to run heads up on the gas?
It needs to be similar to AH for fairness to all in the classes. All brands though. Factoring should be brand to brand in a class not 15 350 motors with one cc difference or bigger carb or injected.
Too radical? maybe but it would help make AHFS simpler.
The time of using the books to be fast may be gone for the good of the sport and the attitude of the entire field of racers...
