Any requests received after November 14, 2011 will be reviewed during the next scheduled evaluation of 2012.

Letter review is part of NHRA's commitment to evaluating input from the Sportsman racing community and is an important element of NHRA's Automatic Horsepower Factoring System. "No Change" combinations are listed so that competitors may see that requests were reviewed by the Technical Department, even though the request resulted in no change.

Requests for horsepower changes or reviews can be sent in writing to: National Hot Rod Association; Technical Department; attn: AHFS; P.O. Box 5555, Glendora, CA 91740; or e-mail, AHFS@nhra.com or bbachelder@nhra.com. Requests for reviews must be received no later than May 31, 2012 to be included in the next scheduled horsepower and index review."


Also be sure to include details such as...Make, Model, Year, Cubic inch, OEM horsepower, NHRA horsepower, Transmission, etc. As can be seen in the current NO CHANGE LIST, some were denied because there was incomplete data in the request.

Travis thank you for the all the info and how to go about submitting our request for change.

Travis,

So why not go one step further and post a form on the NHRARacer.com site with all of the information needed to evaluate a horsepower change request? This would benefit the NHRA because the data would be in a consistent format making the review process simpler and easier for the review committee. It would benefit racers by ensuring all the data required to evaluate their request was submitted - no more "incomplete request."

Just a thought...
