The racers that want to go fast will, no matter what. The guys who don't want to be fast won't be fast. If AHFS was run in it's purist form it would probably end Stock Eliminator. Everybody with a MOPAR 340 or a 305 Camaro would get a horsepower hit. The racers that ran 1.50 under would run .50 under and the racers that ran .85 under would run .15 over. It would turn Stock into Comp where only the strong survive no matter what.

This is exactly how I feel, Bob is better versed and educated in the class arena than I am, therefore his explanation nails it for me. I'll just assume the NHRA allows everyone to show the potential sans the penalty at the most prestigious race of the year.
