I think National records should be set at sea level tracks. No altitude adjustments allowed.

What would be your method of applying the correct HP factors? The AHFS did away with personal opinions one might have of another racer or race car when considering HP factors.

Eddie, if you and I are thinking about the same incident, the racer it concerns was asked by a DD not to backup the record because there was no time for a teardown.

Every year, over the winter NHRA should look at all of the combos that went "silly" fast over the course of the previous season and in one shot bring them back into line. Example, if one combos "average" is 3 tenths faster than the rest of the classes "average" then give that combo enough HP to slow it down at least 2 tenths in one shot.

Ed, I'd like to see Glendora give us Stock/Super Stock racers our .30 seconds back that they took from us last year, but I know they won't which sucks canal water!!!

That's probably the one.If that's the case then shame on NHRA for not making time available or doing it after the race.I don't know if that would have to be a call from national tech or divisional tech.Anyhow,national tech should let the car/cars be checked and
pay for any extra time incurred for the local tech personnel.Only disassembly and inspection is needed.Reassembly is not necessary.
If you want a record you might have to put up with a little inconvienience.If you're issuing a record,same thing.

some older stockers won't run on pump gas, AT ALL

Get an un-altered one, tie it down on a chassis dyno. Average drivetrain loss for a stick car is 15%. 20% for an automatic car. If it makes more than the claimed rating at the tires, start with that. It would still be a little soft but guys couldn't cry about the drivetrain loss factor being wrong for a particular vehicle.

I don't agree with the pump gas deal at all.
