The mines are now closed (AHFS)

Ya know, back in the "good-old-days" long before we had the "fair" AHFS (which could be fair if it were handled correctly), if you went very fast you were just given a lump of HP by some heavy-handed Tech whose brother-in-law probably ran the same class with a different combo ;-). BUT, if you went faster than the Natl. Record, you tore down because YOU were the new Natl. Record Holder!
Wouldn't that be an unique concept? How do you slow down a 1.00-1.20 under car to go .45 under consistently? NHRA would/could never go for this because for the first half of the year they would be tearing down 50-60 cars at each event but it would sure make things interesting!

Hey Lonnie, it would also make Stock and SS "Performance Based Eliminators" again!
