"Protecting" a combo indicates to me it's under factored. Case in point, 350/255. Sorry James. Just my 2 cents.

Kevin you knocked it out of the park. I have a EFI combo that seems to be the target of the special agenda. One thing I can tell you is there are several combos that I cannot out qualify, but for some reason they go unnoticed. D1 modified car is one example, bad *** car that runs like a pro stocker. Gove is an example of how fast a modified car should run, he works his *** off. Thank goodness for him that the special interest are not in his classes or he would be on the radar. I agree with your comment (work on your stuff or change your stuff!!!) seems people would rather spend big money on motor homes than their race car and that's their choice. The new normal is you no longer have to bring yourself up, when its easier to bring the others down to you.

Don't forget the AHFS is a doubled edge sword. If you work within the rules it can be rewarding.

When we first got the truck out in the mid nineties the AHFS was non existence. How performance penalty's were handed out, in my opinion, were unfair and arbitrary. Case in point, Topeka Q1 we go fast 1.00 plus under index with at least a 15 MPH tail wind. We get tore down checked and pass, we get informed we will get HP Monday. I ask the question, If I was setting a record would I be awarded the record with a 15 MPH tailwind? The answer was NO, too much tailwind for a record to be established. I could not get a record under those weather conditions but I was getting HP. Fair, I think not.
