So please chime in, the way I'm reading this is I can run as fast as I want 1.20+ under as many times as I want as long as my average is under .850 at the end of the year? Brian Seaberg

Brian, part of NHRA's proposal was to move the automatic trigger to 1.4 under as well as no mineshaft, no exemption for Indy and runs slower than .649 under not included towards your average. There was no mention of changing the 1.00 under or the .850 average triggers. NHRA asked for SRAC input regarding the AHFS, again, but the final decisions are made by NHRA. NHRA knows the AHFS needs changes to work better but if a racer hears it might affect their combo, they scream foul. The little survey at the top of the page is interesting, does show that so far, 2/3 of the racers do support enhancing the AHFS.

Jim, As Div 6 SRAC Rep, could you share with all The Div 6 Stk and SS competitor's, who was contacted for there input in this matter back earlier in the AHFS change process?
I know I was never contacted and several others are saying the same thing.
AHFS changes are very important to everyone, and I think I can say, all competitors would if liked to had input.
After re-reading NHRA 9-28- 2022 post on NHRA Racer.com , I have to say it's a done deal and the rules are changing as of Jan 1st 2023. For Better or Worse .
