That's what I was thinking.
5 minutes to fill out the form.

Worst that could happen is they say no.

Of course the person filling out the request would have to be the driver that drove that combo at a national or Divisional event this year.

Just have to get it done before the Monday after the World Finals in November.

Get the letters in early, it will allow NHRA time to do nessary research to get it correct. I think the cut off date for requests to be reviewed is sometime in October. I could be wrong. If the letter is late it will be considered in the next review period. Reduction in Hp is an annual end of year, so get it in now or wait till next year.

Let me add this if the facts support reduction or additions according to AHFS guidelines it will usually happen.

If you go to the NHRA Competition page (link on top here) it is all spelled out verbatim on the Automatic Help For Slugs (AHFS) link. Cars are separated by “platform”. Ie Skylark & Regal (1978) are separate one is a Gbody one is Kbody.

Happy HP hunting ... God knows the Ffford 302 2bbl had a good day January 1 2014 😡

Let me clue you in.....Anyone that has the talent to send an e mail asking for WELFARE can do it. They don’t need to be the car owner, driver ...etc....
