Bruce,

We arent wrapped up in the penalty phase. On the contrary, AHFS should not be a penalty system at all, it should be a method for determining if the playing field of each engine is level to start. We all know it isnt. Proper math can predict that.

The AHFS is scientifically invalid. End of Story. If NASA used this method, they would have missed the moon by a long shot. To fix it, a simple method available to high school students could be employed. Saving us now is a human at the helm orchestrating the results. It is better than nothing, but results are extremely tainted. Most common sense racers can see it even if they dont know the actual science behind it.

There really is a better way that is simple, and would make life much easier for NHRA and the racers.
