Are there two or three classes with factors or?

By political arena, do you mean the manufacturers. I think more factory involvement is probably a good thing-of course, they will try to work the rules to their advantage, so of course that is something to be on the watch for and try to prevent.

Dave, I meant how much political turmoil I can inflict to make it a good program. Some things became evident this year; blown and unblown don't mix; tech on these motors has to be refined; indexes were a little soft, but I already proposed a fix for that, the manufacturers know what they want, and I don't think any of them will be hard to mold into a fair class for starters. And more as I can think of it. Heads up isn't for everyone, just like Top Stock wasn't for everyone. I like A/FX and B/FX instead of the paragraph you have to put on your car. More races during the year to attract more. Now as far as the AHFS, (speaking of turkeys on Thanksgiving), it needs to be fried like a turkey, but that's a whole nother thread. Just drifting around this cold night down South.

Jeff keep it up. I know you have the best for the classes at Heart even if you have mopar on your door.
Blown and Unblown dont mix. Gee that took how many months or years to be figured out.
Like carbs and injected. Cannot rate two different animals on same scale.
Wish the factories would agree on cubic inchs and intakes or maybe the lb to cubic inchs would be more accurate than phony HP ratings.
