New rules for 2010?

Changing the index excessively would be hard on some people. It would be better to make a tighter AHFS first to tighten up the HP problems. Like a run of 1.00 under gets hp.in the AM. Suddenly everyone with normal cars are competitive again. People do not have to start over with the latest "weak" factor car to win classes or appear on the Qualifying sheet. and they begin to LOVE it again.(I am TOO conservative on class racing because I have watched it be watered down and devalued too long.)Since I am not currently racing I would not suggest these things only comment on them.

You can not make anyone or everyone happy no matter what comes about. You will always have the "HAVES and the HAVE NOTS" in racing of any kind.

What you say is very true, Terry, but IF NHRA was interested, and worked at it, they could do a few things to minimize the difference (in the "haves" and the "have not"s.)

I think HP at 1.00 under is the best idea I've heard, along with publishing the e.t.'s at 1,000 ft.
