AFHS...and what's the point? It's worth absolutly nada. No points, no $, just a piece of paper...and about 5-6 hrs of your time to tear it down, along with $200 in gaskets/oil to put it back together in time to try and make Rd 1 the next day.

Re: Were you there in 2004?
I could be wrong, but AHFS came after 2004...or it was much higher (-1.40) before you got hit in mine shaft conditions!
Yes, back in the day...you use to get points for holding a National Record. Never $...unless your engine builder or transmission guy had some prior agreement (without NHRA's involvement).

Re: Were you there in 2004?
It was well before 2004 that you used to get points for setting the record. I think the AHFS has the majority to do with people not setting records. It shouldn't matter if you get points or money to set it. It used to be a sense of pride knowing you did it. As a class racer that in itself is/was gratifying enough. We loved the tear downs. Unfortunately or maybe not unfortunately we have a great program in D-5 with combo races on both days of our opens that pay really well. So I'd rather race then tear down. I wish we could have been in Montgomery.
