NHRA: are you really that blind or just stupid?

With the combination of you taking weight out and the other cars getting horsepower, it might tighten up the races a little. OH, and by the way, I think I would not start or include the phrase "NHRA are you blind or Stupid?" in your letter. And If you say that you shouldn't have to send a letter in to get things even, the system doesn't work that way, so start putting your letters together.

Oh yes, we have written many letters to nhra. And they were very nice letters. You can catch more flies with sugar than vinegar. But Light, Gray and Gracia made it very clear that they were not going to do a thing until the AHFS was tiggered. And they had no intention of removing weight to balance the old v. new cars. Period end of discussion - go away. You know what I mean. And finally the poor AHFS was NOT designed to correct abuses by nhra. It's more of a tweaking system. Any other good ideas? We're open for them.
