New AHFS
So, who's going to test the new system first?

Re: New AHFS
It looks like we will never see "mineshaft" again. Obviously, this is a drastic change. I can't see where it doesn't penalize hard work.
Someone from the NHRA needs to explain how this won't have the opposite effect on the data base. These are performance based classes, where's the incentive to go fast? Lonnie?? South Georgia will be interesting.....

Re: New AHFS
There are different ways to make changes, positive ways that reward people with incentive and then there are the NHRA ways. I could see this as part of a solution in concert with more rewards for performance, but NHRA execs chose only the punitive side. Unfortunately, it appears that the bean counters still rule NHRA. No racer input needed.

"Data collected through the NHRA Live timing data base (including 660 foot elapsed time and 1000 foot elapsed time comparisons) will be utilized to verify if adjustments are needed".

Re: New AHFS
Since the inception of the Stock and Super Stock classes, the classes have been always considered a performance class. I believe that in the old Farmer and subsequent days, although not perfect, the adjustment system was fair.
How about heads-up runs? The current rule does not exempt heads-ups runs. The only exception is as follows: "No runs made during exempt events, National Opens, test and tune, time trials, 1/8th mile events or races within a race (i.e. Jegs Allstar eliminations, Stock / Super Stock Combos or other races that are not part of a season long points championship) are included in any review." My hope is that this new rule does not create a hazard due to top end accidents when fast guys slam on their brakes trying to slow down their cars! |

NMCA is the place to be, granted it doesn’t help the racers out west.
