Yet another bogu horsepower factor

[NewHemi]

Rich,

You in this thread and others in other threads have all pointed out great examples of the self-correcting nature of HP factoring...Run fast Sunday, get HP Monday... But nobody is really arguing against your point. Are the HP factors "fair", probably not entirely... But like with the LT-1s, the system is in place and in time it won't be an issue anymore.

What I am saying is that while everyone who feels wronged is calling the NHRA names, and questioning the integrity of the Tech staff (talk about poking a beehive with a stick...do you guys realize how counterproductive that could be? Never mind... Keep it up..I want to tech through before you do, since they probably won't be in a good mood when they get to you..) the system is at work, and CJs and 6.1 DPs already have taken hits. So most of us know it is just a matter of time before the balance is again achieved..

Once again, hold your breath and stamp your feet,if you wish. But it is simply a matter of time before the winds of change blow over these cars, and they no longer threaten your sense of fairness. But don't get used to that feeling. Because then we will be on to the next generation of direct injection/variable timing, etc, etc....and the cries of OMG it isn't fair to the rest of us....

Life isn't fair. But it can be fun, if you let it...

may i once again reiterate... the Automatic Help For Slugs (AHFS) cannot and will not EVER work... been saying that same damn sentence for 6 years...no body EVER listens to me they just think im old & stupid

if we dont get a HP "committee" to fix this bogus **** we will cease to exist.

oh by the way an all new car national event is on the way indy, maybe as soon as 2011... just what NHRA wants ... new cars, lots of factory support and lots of heads ups... and we the old guys will be running nostalgia at the good guys race the following weekend.

Jack, I don't think you are old and stupid. But I don't agree with you.

The system looks like it works, it just takes time..

As for the Good Guys thing, that actually sounds like fun to me...

I took my 70 Challenger 440 6PAK convertible (my summer driver) to a Good Guys Blue Suede Cruise event and had a pretty good time.
I got all sideways in a heads up run, but didn't break anything, so for me, that is fun.

And they really know how to honor old hardware too.

More than 10 years and more than 50 HP.... Yah, the system works *great*. So how long do you think it'll take to get the new cars anywhere in the right zipcode?

Good point but that was for GM cars, it may take only 5yrs for the FORDS
