NHRA letter on AHFS....

04GTOMan · 06-30-2011, 07:00 PM

I don't know whats going on with the NHRA. I raced a max wedge 415 hp back in the 70s d/sa and you had to have the right engine, trans ,ect,ect. I'm just now getting back into it and i'm dissapointed about the new rules. I was hoping to run stock eliminater, but after reading and hearing the forums I 'll just run brackets.

Great letter Wade and I agree something needs to be done. There are a lot, more than most think that are "old style cars" that can run 1.0 under the new index. Most are focused with the new cars becasue they can do it so easy. The current system is better than the old ways and better than nothing until something better comes along. It is and always will be moving forward a game to protect ones combination. It would be nice to see stock/super stockers unload somewhere without getting HP, it was and is a performance class with bracket features. A looming heads up is what makes it so cool in my opinion..

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

That would be to much power to one person.

Did you feel like Farmer did a good job?

I think Wesley would be great, but can't imagine him wanting the head aches.
