I would love to see 1971 engine rules all over again so the damn engine would not cost $20,000 to $35,000 and you could run it all year !!!!!!!

Also, consider some hp changes outside of AHFS as needed.

I would be in favor of freezing the rules.

Hard to go back in time without changing HP factory.

Most of my racers had very little valve spring pressure and
would not fall out of a tree.

Ya know, sometimes I just don't understand what the NHRA is looking for or at. At first when "the same guy" who f**ked up and gave the 302s "the big gift" gave them "the big gift", I was pissed. UNTIL I saw how many got built and raced. Shouldn't the NHRA be considering participation even after a f**k up and a "big gift"? Maybe we need some more f**k ups and "big gifts".

Yes. How about some "calculated" changes to generate interest? Seems that so many of the changes are not well thought out and often have unintended consequences that hinder participation.

Also, there needs to be fresh thinking to be able to break out of the current "formula" of 50-year old cars to expand the category.
