Horsepower welfare changes.....

[Frank Castros]

You have a no expense spared, state of the art, cutting edge, amazingly beautiful Stock Eliminator car that you have worked very, very hard to refine it's carefully chosen combination to run like a bat out of hell, only to very carefully protect it's factor by not running too fast or fast too often, even if means racing to 1000 feet during a heads up run against a formidable foe.

What am I missing here?

Frank, I think it is hey went 10.05 at 105 MPH, no HP but you still know that car is stupid fast.

I wish I knew a solution to the AHFS, Index and factoring quagmire and hope someone much smarter than me does, so the issue will be resolved and we can enjoy performance based RACING not this sandbagging bull****.

The 60th US Nationals was the last year all runs counted for the AHFS. Ask me how I know. I got 29 HP in a 22 lb class for going - 2.452 under index. The engine was rated at factory HP. It took two plus years of work to get that done. I'm not crying in my beer I knew the rules and took the hit with a smile on my face.

I don't know what the answer is but whatever the rules are I will try to adapt. I have a few Saturdays left so we have fun until we can't do it any more. Jimmy Malone said it best "This getting old stuff is not for the meek". Back to work!

Just a thought here....
Could it be the stupid fast car owners do not want let other competitors in the class know how quick the car can go?

To a point. Shutting off your A/SA in the second round of class to run 10.10 at 100mph is simple head games.

However something is very broken when the #1 qualifier at every event always seems to be about -0.98 under, and a -1.00 under run 10 years ago (before the index changes) means you're a sitting duck in a heads up race in a popular class.
