The 350/255 combo was mentioned, no surprise. They get a lot more phone calls of complaint than I would think. And yes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I think an overhaul of the SRAC may be in order. I don't know
if it has any teeth, anymore.

JR, AHFS is a touchy subject for most as its effects your cars performance and your ability to make it perform to an established measuring stick.
Everyone always says, " Stock is a Performance Based Class" but it does not seem that way by these changes to AHFS.
If the recent changes were driven by competitors who compete in Stock Eliminator, one can only assume their combo will not run the numbers to compete heads up in their division.
Everyone understands, Stock Eliminator needs all the racers, fast and not as fast to compete,
This "Lastest" change to AHFS hurts the fast guys, will cause more lifting at 1,000 ft , (or braking) to protect their current HP rating. It's less costly than spending $$ to go as fast as you did before you had to add that 80.lbs
Maybe it's time to have a personal index in Stock. Let the really fast guys go heads up against each other, no HP hits. The others, estblish a 1-3 tenths personal index on Heads up runs at Divisonal events only.

Just an Idea to consider.

Happy Holidays
