Word is 1.15 under for AHFS at Opens and Divisional races - Page 3

Mr. Noland and Mr. Layer,

No, it's not an "internal thing". It appears that we are speaking about two seperate issues. These are the facts:

NHRA tech did a survey which asked for input on the following: A- adjust the index by .20 and move the trigger to 1.00, B- adjust the index to .20 and leave the trigger at 1.15 or, C- No changes and leave the trigger at 1.15. As I thought I clearly stated earlier in this thread, the majority voted for C- no changes and leave the trigger at 1.15

Regarding the seperate issue of applying the AHFS to division events and/or national opens as well as using the 1.15 at such events, at no time did I ever post that "the majority of the racers were not for it". Using the AHFS at division events was suggested by the S/SS committee. It was not "the work of Len and Wesley". As a matter of fact, as I mentioned to a "well known engine builder", it was the result of numerous racers asking for this over the last several years. However, it has never been finalized and would not be until, as I also stated previously on this thread, "it would be posted on the NHRA website for racers to review".

The NHRA tech department will soon be posting a revised AHFS system on the website and in National Dragster for all to see and give their respective input.

,,is anything ever "finalized"?

It seems to me that with all the controversy -

The simplest thing NHRA could do is -

Eliminate class racing and heads up races in eliminations.

No need to ever adjust HP

All that would be left is class records

How many classes have more than a couple of "hot dogs" that are the "class" of the class.

Every one of them would draw fire here on this forum.

Back off guys - be careful what you wish for - ggeezzee.

I am sorry but I just had to say this.

Now let her rip...

Len,
I think GP. Hill had the real answer, count all runs at National events... Maybe we need to toss racers for lifting @ 1000' and anyone running more than 75 lbs. heavy is tossed. Maybe the tear-downs should start with the bottom 20 guys first and see how the fast they change their positions...I feel all these things would help...What do you think.... Dave,
