NHRA letter on AHFS....

Wade, that is an excellent thought. The biggest problem I see is the bogus factoring of these new combinations. If you raise the trigger or make it more difficult to get horsepower it just takes longer for these obviously under factored cars to get hit. We need a horsepower committee made up of racers, engine builders, and tech people with some brains to get the hp closer on these new combinations. If that were done I would agree whole heartedly with you.

The problem is that NHRA is never going to give up any control on this because they have been bought and paid for by Chrysler and Ford. There are some older combinations that may be a little soft 10-20 hp but a lot of the new carts are still as much as 100 soft. As long as this is in place there really is no good way to regulate hp. One of these new cars gets hit like the 5.7 hemi to the tune of 99hp it's still #1 qualifier at Norwalk.
