Ahfs - My Letter To Nhra & Your Furure

This is a cut & paste of my email to racerinput@nhra.com

I am:

Bob MULRY

Stock & Super Stock

What are doing with my class?

Please stop ruining a PERFORMANCE BASED ELIMINATOR by dumbing down the tech requirements.

The any valve job and 3 speed transmissions in combos that did not come from the factory that way are guaranteed to increase performance in the few Super Stock Chevrolet 350ci 295/318 horsepower cars that can afford a $6,500.00 transmission and and unlimited supply of R & D money to re-engineer and test a new transmission combination in a combination that has already been flogged to death with a 2 speed transmission.

With that in mind and with the NEW AFHS PROPOSAL the possibly exists that, one and only one, SS/GA, SS/HA or SS/IA 1967, 1968 or 1969 Camaro running a 350ci 295/318 HP combo goes faster that 1.15 under at 2 National Events and being that there are more than 21 cars running that combo an average of -.80 under gets everybody horsepower.This will kill that combo.

Why would you give the racers things to make them faster and punish them with HORSEPOWER when they go faster?

What you do makes no sense, so why do you do it?

************************************************** ************************************************** ******

This is from the NHRA website:

If either the engine family average or the class/engine average are found to be equal to or faster than the numbers shown below, based on the number of runs in the database, a change will be initiated. Runs reviewed Engine family average or Class/Engine average
1- 5 1.00
6 –10 0.95
11 – 15 0.90
16 – 20 0.85
21 – more 0.80

************************************************** ************************************************** ****

Why did you take the valve job rule and change it after, I don't know, maybe 30 years?

Is it because it costs NHRA less money or time in tear down?

Is it too hard to get qualified tech people that will work for the amount that NHRA is willing to pay

Is this part of a plan to so bastardize Stock and Super Stock so it just becomes another bracket with no tech needed other than safety equipment?

Why change the transmission rule? It will make combos faster and then they will be hit with Horsepower, resulting in NO PERFORMANCE INCREASE with the $6,500.00 expense.

What is your goal?

Is it to make the PERFORMANCE ELIMINATORS so generic that nobody will recognize them anymore?

JUST STOP BEFORE YOU SCREW IT UP MORE OR DON"T YOU CARE?

end of my email to racerinput@nhra.com

WE MADE THEM (YES IT"S US OR THEM TIME) TAKE BACK THE MUFFLER RULE WHEN WE WORKER TOGETHER.

Why should we let THEM ruin our performance eliminator?

If you don't think that we will have 3 speeds as P/G replacements in Stock very soon, I have a bridge to sell you.

Or am I just jerking off?
