How would you fix the ahfs - Page 2

Richard Grant · 04-12-2011, 12:22 PM

Many racers pointed out when the ahfs was implemented that it would never work because the racers could control when they receive horsepower especially the ones with rare combos. The more of a type of combo the more likely someone will mess up and cause horsepower. Some combos have done an excellent job of maintaining their averages and fast runs therefore even though they were fast before ahfs they are still fast. AHFS will never work like it was touted but then nothing tried so far has worked to everyones satisfaction. The changes made for 2011 have only tied everyones hands so that no one can run all out. I don't think that any modification to the current system will fix it. It was flawed from the beginning. However because no system will suit everyone it's just as good as anything that I have heard seen so far.
I think that most everyone likes the new combos and believe that they help improve stock racing but until they are placed into their own class or their horsepower numbers are fairly adjusted they remain a sore spot for many racers. As we are seeing it will take far too long for the AHFS to balance the playing field and it's only made worse by introducing new combos every so often. Our options remain live with the current situation or go play golf(or go fishing, or etc.)

Bill "Farmer" Dismuke would have already fixed it.

Mike, The way it has been done in the past is to write a letter (I guess an email would work) to the Horsepower Committee and present your reasons for a HP reduction. Include examples and detailed information. I have done this twice and got HP off once. The other time I never heard a thing back from them. Bill Holt used to be on the Committee but I'm not sure who is on it now. The Division office should be able to help you with that info. If I can help you please email or call me. Jim
