Put Wesley Robertson in charge of HP ratings and everything would take care of itself.

That would be to much power to one person.

Go to M.I.R. next weekend for the Sportsman Spectacular. No AHFS there to worry about.

Wade, I agree with most of your letter. However, we do need the AHFS! Maybe a few additions/corrections are needed to refine it, but it is needed!

As for the Sportsnational races, the only trigger is the 1.25 over permanent hit (old 1.40 under). The AHFS rules for Sportsnationals are the same as National Opens. No 1 second under runs count towards AHFS. Only runs of 1.25 under, which are instant adjustments, count. I feel that if a combo can go 1.25 under the new indexes, it needs a horsepower adjustment!

That's only -1.55 under the "old" indexes... why do you hate people who like to work on their cars?
