Simple.....use the 1/8 mile times and/or the 1000 ft times and adjust from those.....thats a no brainer. Problem is the stock and S/S "world" is relying on the AHFS and we all know thats not getting the job done. Its racer, weather, track altitude manipulated. The HP factors need a human, hands on input from a group (no more than 3) who are familiar and know class racing (stock and S/S) inside and out and who have no connection to a running combo. Some people who want to see better racing (no dumping and no "bracket mode" tune ups.) Some people who have no special desire to help or hinder a paticular brand of car or racer. Some people who can be firm yet FAIR and not show any favortism for the betterment of stock and S/S class racing. No.....I dont think I would want to do it (been there and done that with Top Stock) but I think I could with help from someone like Nitro Joe and his stats. It would take no more than 3 people so the factors and reductions could be done with a simple discussion and vote after reviewing the status of LEGAL cars after they have been certified. None of this AHFS crap like the E body Hemi guys had to endure a few years ago. The real problem is to get NHRA (and IHRA) to go for it. I doubt it would ever happen. My 25 cents worth.
