There is a major disconnect in the goals of the many Stock Eliminator
Racers. There are many who like to run the furthest under and show
their mechanical prowess, those who buy their engines (the majority today),
and those that run 20- 50 under their Indexes. The AHFS as it stands
today is to protect the 20-50 under group. I understand why NHRA does
this, as the first 2 groups are going to keep coming back because we
have a mental disconnect with common sense, and we hate money.
The 3rd group will leave and not return. The dilemma shows when we have
no place to showcase our cars performance. I would like to see more
races with no AHFS, a 64 car field with 80 allowed entry's. Gainsville,
Sportsnationals, Maple Grove, Indy (128 car field) and Dallas. Call them
Big Boy Races or whatever you want, but there needs to be a few places to show off hard work, innovation, talent and yes money.

Thanks,

J.R.

P.S. There are no easy answers, just tough questions.
