It has been petitioned by a few racers that I know of to get rid of the class average, but I guess that didn't happen.

My feeling is we do need a trigger to eventually even combos out.....but like I said before, only counting national events isn't right because you penalize those who race often more than those who fly, but only go to a few nationals a year.

Like most things in life.....there is no simple solution!

Bryan- How bout the 350/295 that has received 17 hp in the last four AHFS reviews. All of this HP was done by GT/AA only. How fair is this system, when all of the competitors have to carry all that weight for a couple three retards!

At a minimum the class average needs to go! I posted several months ago to lower the indexes 2 tenths, make the trigger 1 second under and the automatic 1.15 under.

I heard NHRA will change the factors for SS/AH. The Cuda which is 108" WB will run @ 9.70 index, and the Dart will run @ 9.80 index because it is 110" WB. And they are gonna group all the six pack cars in one class including the 340 six pack. It will be SP/AA and will run on a 10.90 index and will run the same format as S/ST. The new three carb class will include the Corvettes and Pontacs and any other brand with three or more carbs. And anyone who steps on their car and goes too fast will be flogged in the scale area. The rack is being constructed now. And Ed O'Brian was hired as Public Relations Director for Stock and Super Stock. And the one second benchmark for hp has been eliminated. The triggers have been eliminated. Other than the classes mentioned above, there will be only one class RWYB/AA and just do what you want. All the tech people have been shifted to safety only items. Did I miss anything?

Ed, normally an Okie would get a 20% extra for displaced Native Americans, however Irish Americans don't get the 20. That being said you do get an extra 20% green beer once a month instead of just on St Patricks day. And since I'm in the great thought mode; Cajuns are displaced from Canada (sorta run out if you know what I mean), and now that the Canadian Dollar is worth more, who do I sue to get my fair share. Too much time on my hands. I think I will go put the motor in my car.
