I just cruised through the Stock classes in Nitro Joe's Stats latest issue and saw very few older cars that made a run more than 1.10 under the index. I'm sure those few guys worked very hard to attain that honor. What I saw more of was quite a few newer cars that ran more than 1.10 under and they were each probably toting quite a few extra pounds.

It looks like a 1.10 under immediate hit on the revised AHFS for 2011 would have done much more for getting horsepowers corrected and done it a lot quicker than 1.20 under.

Considering that .3 was taken off the indexes this year, a 1.10 under immediate hit would have been exactly the same as the old 1.40 under hit. I seem to remember everyone being very happy with the hit set at 1.40 under. Setting the new hit at 1.20 under puts us back to the same as when the AHFS started in 2002 with a hit of 1.50 under.
