There were as many '86 Chevy trucks built as 302 2-bbl Fords, if that is a statistic to ponder.

Of course, with NHRA's worshipping of the AHFS, something like that would never happen. Where's the fun?
Dwight, this sounds like a good subject for it's own thread. I think that you have an excellent idea there for helping "underprivileged" and "entry level" racers get going. NHRA would have to rework it's AHFS to make it more reactive to the combos that wind up being accidently too soft though. A year between reviews is too long.
