I agree Billy That's why I stated "does anyone want to buy a Real Fast Neon"

When Mike started this thread with the latest version of the AHFS he didn't provide you with the history of what has been going on for the last few months. This is the short version.

1. Several SRAC members approached NHRA about separating the new combinations by putting them in to separate classes like NHRA did with the FI cars years ago. Both written and verbal requests including surveys from racers.

We didn't get a response back NHRA. .

2, Then we were sent a proposal from NHRA doing away with the existing AHFS as we know it. The new rule was for stock and super stock to run off of a 1.10 under CIC system like Comp. So any one run by one person running quicker than 1.10 under at any National event , Divisional race or National open, all the racers running that combination across the country would be hit HP on the Tuesday following the race. The farther under 1.10 the harder everyone would be hit.

3. The SRAC voted that proposal down by a nearly unanimous vote. Any one at Vegas talking to certain tech officials were told this was going to be the new rule for 2011.

4. The SRAC then quickly came back with a nearly unanimous proposal to leave the AHFS the same as it is has been with the automatic 1.25 trigger and only for national events with the current 1.10 trigger just like it had been BUT with increased hits for combinations running quicker than 1.30 under ( similar scale as you see in the new proposal.) The only change was tiered increase in hp or indexes adjustments for combinations running quicker than 1.25 under because as you know whether you run 1.26 or 1.85 under you were only hit 3.25% and this would take forever for underrated combinations to be adjusted properly.

5. Then NHRA came back with the rule than Mike started of this post with

I hope this helps as to what has been going on over the last couple months and brings everyone up to speed..

People that just want to bracket race with no class run-offs or heads ups can do that at home every weekend can't they? I don't see anything wrong with the proposal if they don't use corrected times at altitude tracks. It's a lot more liberal than last year's system unless you run WAY under. Right? I didn't hear all this last year. Is everybody actually all that much faster (review trigger .3 lower) than last season? The two times I had to watch that in 2009 (had problems last year) I just added weight and backed the timing down. Got 3/10ths more leeway now. Other than the new bogus cars, how many of you are actually that fast?

Not trying to offend anybody, just curious.

Ed, I have great respect for you. You have seen alot during your years of racing. Much more than me. BUT, it may not be how fast anyone is today or next year, or the following year. Who knows how fast any certain combo could go. But with the penalties in place, why try? I want to try some new stuff, I think it will help. But as of today, why bother?
