3.25% for the DP & CJ is just a slap in the face

Go back and look car counts have been down at National Events and Points meets last year and this!! Div1 has had higher counts than Dive II for some time. Something to think about is alot of the older cars had thier HP ratings adjusted before the .30 was subtracted now do they go back and correct for that mistake. What about the difference in Dyno corrections between the old and new??

Yes HP factors are way out of line right now, but look at how many new cars and people are in S and SS now. S and SS have grown more in the past two years then in the last 10. Something like this is the only way to get new people in our sport. Over time this will be a good thing for our sport.

For what its worth....i was told that the way the AHFS is set up (Written) this is all NHRA can do at the present, supposedly it go's back to the way Len Imbrogno wrote it up. Now truth or not this is what i was told, NHRA has to rewrite the AHFS, in the mean time all the earlier cars will get their butts kicked while NHRA decides how to do this. Go figure,as i said before (SAD)

They will never rewrite the AHFS so that it works correctly and in a timely manner. They'd have to pay someone to rewrite it because they would never use the model given them 3-5 times in the last 5 years by people who understand what is necessary to create a system that works without human intervention and in a fair manner across the board for everyone affected by it. They don't want that to happen anyway, because it would prevent them from playing favorites and having control.

I know two IHRA racers that were thinking about coming over to NHRA. The current situation has put a quick end to this. They don't have the money to jump into one of these new cars. I suggested that they start buying lottery tickets and maybe they could get lucky and buy a car that would put them in the top of the field.

We need to put these car's in an FX class. That is what they are. No VIN's no air bags. This will make everyone happy.

Very good points made by Jok. Jok, that would be a very good start on an article for Drag Racing Online. It does seem like in the last few years that Stock has become Super Stock and Super Stock has become Competition Eliminator. Meanwhile, Ford and Dodge are taking full advantage of a flawed AHFS.

Great idea on the FX class. Definitely what they have created.

Roger,I believe there's a problem with getting the minimum weight down on the Camaros.
When that's solved they will be coming.I know someone ready to build one for a customer.
Jeff,it's real easy to kick Len in the *** now for the AHFS.There's nothung from stopping them from rewriting it,with input from the otside,but the ingrates in charge now.
