Readjustment letter to NHRA

[Bobby Fazio]

I don't really see any other way you can write the letter. A point needs to be made. I would sign it.

I understand that NHRA has to start somewhere with their hp ratings but it seems to hit the brand new cars pretty hard right off the bat when they use the manufacture's hp rating from the get go. Not enough new cars are racing to appeal to the youth of the sport. Since my family races Super Stock we can put it in a GT class with a combination that can be competitive but I really think that it would be beneficial to be able to use an engine that comes in the car from the factory to appeal to the younger racers that want to get into the sport.

Those were some long sentences.

I guess what I'm getting at is that the NHRA needs to do some more research into the newer combos that maufactures are putting out to make them more competive right away instead of making a few guys suffer for a coulpe 5 years to correct the hp factor to make them competive.

I'm new to paying attention to hp factors but from what I have seen it seems to be a system that benifits people that can build a car every 2 years to dodge getting hit with too much hp.
