My point is that the tech department is no better than 30+ years ago. In fact Farmer probably had a better handle on sportsman combos and their potential than today's tech.
It's time for the sanctioning bodies to get with the times and spend their money on an R&D center with real equipment and competent personnel to understand and resolve sportsman (and pro) issues. And this shouldn't just apply to HP factoring.

FJ...yes...Farmer, although not perfect, had better control on engine/combo factoring and the majority of the time, he was very fair. In the past many in this forum have discussed and proposed many ways or methods to approach a consistent factoring. Nevertheless, still to this day of High Tech...NHRA has not instituted a valid and consistant method for factoring.
