I look at the new names in this class that have a copo,,drag pak,cobra jet,that are in the show and alot of hard workin drivers that have tweaked almost every bit of H.P out of their combos for years lookin in,.Back in the 60,s they made x amount of factory race cars,now this is a production run of them it seems,hey ,they are fast cars and sharp,but it should have been a limited run of them and THATS IT an old friend used to say. Thats my opinion.

How nhra can justify having combinations that can run balls-out with no penalty on the same qualifying sheet as combinations that are penalized with more HP if they exceed an ET is beyond any rational persons comprehension!!!!!

Yes, I agree with you Bill.
Should not be on same qualifying sheet with NO penalty towards the AHFS.

Than the other cars should be able to go ALL OUT With No Penalty As Well.
Make it fair for everyone.

Or as i stated in my 1st post: Put them in their own Eliminator, their is enough cars
that's for sure.

On Facebook, I suggested letting them run their traditional (AAA, AA, BB CC, etc) in Q-1-2-3, then change weight and stuff to run the FSS race. Might help, might not. I do think they should get HP, but things are kind of skewed. What does, say, a FS/B COPO weight in FS/B compared to BB/SA? What is the fair way to give hp for a "fake" Class/Index?

While we are at it, why not let ALL the new cars into FSS? The lower-HP cars compared to the big cars, cars in say C/SA down, cars like Charley Downing, etc. Why not let all cars in FSS, run it like Comp, handicapped start, flat out.? That way, they could all stay in their own class, and be eligible for AHFS penalties.

Unless that's the way NHRA and the OEM's want it with FSS. Heads-up, run hard, no penalty. $$$$$ talks.

Just some thoughts.

If these cars were held to the AHFS, I would thank that they would back there cars down to about one second under, still end up near top of list. Seems that same cars would still be going home.
