2011 ahfs

That is why I stayed away. The AHFS runs always counted like a National Event. Yep, triggers and runs were counted & went into the averages. That was what I was told by a NHRA person that was supposed to know. I just didn't make that clear in the other post. I made it sound like the Sports Nationals was a National Open., sorry for the confusion. I was just trying to say if the AHFS rules were relaxed at National Opens it might help car count at some of them. It would give a racer a place to go "Show Off" under the NHRA tech guidelines. Those tech guidelines are not followed at Stock/Super Stock combo meets. So a fast run at a combo race doesn't have the prestige of the fast run at a National Open. They also don't get any ink compared to National Opens. I think sponsors and ego's like ink.
Here is an idea:
Let the bad boys go to National Opens and run fast, Set a record without getting HP or index hit.
That would still allow a little performance incentive in a performance class.
