I am hoping that sooner or later (preferably sooner) they will either (1) put about 50% more hp on these cars across the board and if it proves its too much too soon, we will just let the AHFS do its job of "leveling" the playing field, right? I mean after all, doesn't the AHFS work both ways.....Yeah right!

(2) Just put them in their own little class and let them bash heads for a few years (15 sounds good to me) and then when they have established a HP rating that is "reasonable", just merge them back into the original backbone of NHRA, Stock and SuperStock Eliminator.

Now I hate to complain about any particular Combo, but I spend a lot of time, effort and money on my car. Its fast, but their are other regular(Carb or FI) Combos that are just as fast and faster. But these NEW cars are "Light Years" faster. There is no way having one HP correction per year is going to get things even remotely close to the proper ratings.

The way it is now, with the NEW cars to contend with, If you want to run at a venue that is having Class run offs, you are being CHEATED out of any chance to win. You have spent countless dollars making your car fast and legal per NHRA Rules, paid the entry fee, and now its like.........." we didn't tell you what type of car to build" or "the AHFS will take care of it, just give it a chance".

Yeah, Cooter make that a plastic butter knife!
