Red face Re: Black Tuesday?

SS Engine Guy has nailed the heart of the problem... If NHRA is going to continue to factor (which I think is a good way to equalize the cars, given the CORRECT factors for each combo), they need to man up and get it done right to eliminate "sweet" combinations and take the penalties that exist for some off the table. (428 Pontiac gets less hp than 455 with same heads and cam??? 455 Olds gets same hp with or without RamAir??? - soft factors for Ford CJ and some smallblock Chevy combos?? there are other examples, but you get the point)

They also need to be more responsive to input from respected racers... maybe a REAL S/SS consulting board consisting of a half dozen or so racers/builders in each division?? You can let the racers vote on thier own representatives, then let the tech directors and racer's advisory board hash this stuff out. I know some of this is supposed to be going on already, but the system seems broken... there is also a lack of transparency.

I think these changes would help to increase car counts, and promote a little more trust in NHRA's relationship with Sportsman racers. Some good ideas could come from this arrangement as well.... a substantive and reasonable exchange of ideas between NHRA and racers is needed (where have we heard THAT before??)
