Ahfs

If NHRA had qualified fields at all national events (75 entries, 60 Qualified for most races) the AHFS may get triggered more often. Or if some points system for Qualifying were in place.

There is no need though to penalize every combo because of technological advances. Some combos already have been hit due to those changes and other combos didn't make significant gains due to technology advances/rules allowances.



A tenth off every index would just park more cars and with counts down overall I think that is counter productive.

The problem with this is that it's not done the same every time. A few years ago the 1973 /350 Corvette went 1.20 under. They also included the 1974 Corvette when they passed out the HP. The front and the rear of those 2 year Corvettes are different. So why didn't the 1983/305 get the HP.

Forgot to mention at the time the 1973
corvette got the HP the 74 also had a different head and intake they had to use. So instead of keeping their HP different they also at that time amended the 74 specs so they could use the same head as the 73. So I guess they expected if you had the 74 with the right heads and intake up to that time you could now throw those away and do another set up. It didn't matter because we know how cheap it is to change heads and intake. BP
