Ok?

Mr. Dyer, I'll try and make this as short and sweet as I can. We have, in effect an AHFS. The AHFS is the rule of law in Stock and SS, like it or not. It is NOT up to Pat, you, me or any other single person to take it upon themselves to right any wrongs that were done 40 odd years ago. It may be a FACT that the 302 Fords were given too much HP and you can build one and ask for a review. The AHFS doesn't consider 40 year old mistakes. Under your reasoning, My 72/307 Chevy is a mistake, the 71-75 2V/350 Chevys are a mistake, my 301 Pontiacs are a mistake ETC.. I could go on all day! The only thing around here that is right is my inline 1V 6 cylinder stuff and IT would be rated 11 HP MORE than some of your wronged 302s.
To you, Pat and anybody else in a position of power in the NHRA, please, PLEASE, before you go doing something off-the-cuff, think about the precedences that you might be setting and the people who you will affect!
