Yet another bogu horsepower factor

In fact, the AHFS solution and the changes necessary to make it work quickly were presented to NHRA by some of the SRAC members nearly two years ago. NHRA rejected it out of hand without even considering it. Several long time racers were involved in creating a solution, but NHRA does not care and will not be bothered with it.

Also, I have repeatedly suggested that NHRA take ALL of the data that they've collected all these years, do the 1000' run completion in the spreadsheet, and factor EVERYTHING once, right now, and then be done with it for years. If everything was factored *properly* based on the performance provided by their current rules, then everybody could run flat out. Then again, if everybody ran flat out, they would get factored properly eventually and then they could run flat out w/o fear of getting (more) HP, but people would rather game the system and then complain about the system. 'Course a little common sense would go a long way toward factoring combinations too, but NHRA has proven with the new cars that they don't care. I *do* think they know better, I just don't think they care. (The higher-ups, powers-that-be types... I think there are a lot of really great individuals working *for* them, that just don't have the power to make things right). What's anybody going to do about it?

Just do McCarty's system and be done with it.
