Yes it has been happening for a long time, even when they ran against the National Record, yes the AHFS must be corrected and yes the bogus combinations, part numbers and mystery specs MUST also be reviewed and corrected to preserve the constitution of Stock Eliminator.

Unfortunately, it is not always about working harder. A lot of the time it is about spending more money. Not a option for me , so I continue to work harder, in the face of NHRA hypocrisy.

You are right Terry! I'm setting here with two engines and two of everything else. Would trade it all for a 275 car!

Not sure if it's TOO late, Terry, but it took 30 years of neglect and free , non-stock goodies to screw it up to where we are today. It can't be fixed all at once .

How to do it? Haven't a clue.
If I had to start somewhere, I'd suggest that NHRA put together a 5 year plan. (I know, sounds like a joke..NHRA long range plan).
1, Take 2/10's off the bottom, and move all the triggers at the top, 2/10's faster.
In other words..New A/SA index, 10.80...New instant hit, 9.60.

2, AHFS in effect at all nat. and div. races.

3, NO, I said NO more enchancements, freebies, goodies, for FIVE (5) years.
( If you want roller lifters, no more tears..build a car that came with them.)

4, Keep tearin' em down, and look a little closer at cylinder heads and manifolds for grind and file marks ;-)

Maybe not perfect, Terry, but at least it's a plan.

Sad both Danny and Jim ran 2.5 tenths better than their qualifying passes and were still off the gas. What a way to race.

Again Please our Reps address the AHFS this off season it's a joke right now. Barry

Stock Eliminator looks like the x.90,classes in reverse...!
Instead of cutting the light then slow down.
Then run like hell to the finish..!

It is race to the 1000 ft Mark..coast to the finish first !

Oh and while you're at it, please address all of the big $$$$ intake and head enhancement/manipulation going on.

"A communication system is of no value unless there is a critical mass of users"

In other words the time is NOW to reconstruct the AHFS.

I have said this before; The NHRA should employ Dwight Southerland, Mark Yacavone and Billy Nees as consultants to fix this mess.
