Maybe if people stopped trying to protect their index the AHFS could work for all the combos. Run it wide open foot to the floor for a 1/4 mile and let the chips fall where they may? I must be an idiot who thinks drag racing is a about accelerating for 1,320' as quick as you can and wringing out every bit of performance. I can understand not running the car all out when your oppenent has issues(redlight-spin-parts failure-bad R/T) and you don't need to push the car to win and preserving the car/engine/drivetrain for another round that day. But I really can't understand giving up a win to protect your index/factor or the "gentlemens agreements" to run to 1,000' again to protect the index/factor.

Don't hate the player, Hate the game.

I would say if the hp factor in superstock is so easy, maybe you should switch to superstock.

I agree with you on the fact that anyone that dumps a race so as not to get factored. Should stay home then they will not get factored. No sense in killing it on a bye run or if you want to play a qualifying game. But when it counts run it. And let the cards fall where they may.
I would love to race to the 1000' mark LOL At 1000' if I'm not ahead I'm broke LOL

Thanks guys.

Understood now.

Did NHRA streamline the factors, and now Sticks and auto are lumped together for factoring? I just found out my combo got 5, and neither of the guys that race this combo with a stick hit the trigger. I looked at the factor in the guide and there is no seperation of Stick and Auto HP as well. Was this something new in the policy that got implemented without anybody knowing? Maybe this means they are going to combine us in class soon?

[Bob Gullett]

Thats not right. If an automatic combo is responsible for the horsepower, only the auto should be affected. I would be emailing Bruce and getting this corrected.

[Jeff Lee]

E-mail Bruce and work on getting sticks & autos combined. Such a pu**y way to race!

[D.Johns]

My stick combo in stock is still 500hp. The auto version received a 7hp bump.

[Jeff Lee]

Like I said, put 'em all together. Don't be selfish!
