Re: HP Reduction Request
Not real computer savy that is why I never log on. I to have raced stock for over 40 years on a very limited budget. Haven't race since 2007 when my son passed. Why not do away with the heads up race except for when the exact same combo is pair. You may get a few more racers that way. I know there are a lot of fast D E F & G combos that I certainly can't compete against. Not wanting to start an argument just want to help e little guys.

Re: HP Reduction Request
A few years ago I really tried to get 10% off of I think 1995 or so back, and 5 % off the inbetween motors LT1, LS1 and a couple more, and nothing for 2008 or newer. After getting severely scolded by old car guys for various reasons (my favorite "We will got fast and then get hit with HP") I cancelled that project, and had a couple of beverages. I thought I was trying to help. Many disagreed.

The hp changes are just cleanup to get some consistency from model to model and engine application. None of the changes are necessarily new.

My reason for getting involved with this is to see more consistency in the process. For instance , if a guy has a car already that he'd like to race, and it fell within the guidelines put forth, he could just submit a form and then start working on it. By the half year, it would appear in the guide, at the new reduced horsepower rating. Also , in recent years , we saw just about every 302 2v reduced in every body style, by 30-40 horsepower , in some cases. Meanwhile another guy with a 305 2bbl. Chevy , in a certain body and year, has to fight for 6 mos., just to get 4 hp off it. Fair is fair ...20 % off for every one , or for no one.
