Bob Shaw is a bad man

[Stocker 2]

There is a flaw in the AHFS. When the AHFS was originally written there was no provision put in place to rapidly correct horsepowers that are way out of line. This does not mean there needs to be a way to change horsepower when someone "thinks" it is out of line without actual on track performance data. However once someone blatantly exploits the system, there should be a way to refactor horsepower by committee. Two times of 1.40 or more under the index should allow the committee to set horsepower where they deem it necessary.

Yes he is.....I never said he was not but how do you think Ron Ortiz and Jack McCarthy not to mention others like Clayton Wright in his 65 Plymouth wagon and others feel when staging against him with thier wagons? Probably kind of how Bruce Noland will feel staged against the blown Ford Mustangs. Its the SYSTEM !

All the above mentioned have the option to run T/SA. AHFS is a computer generated program that takes the human element out of the equation. Much better than getting horsepower in the staging lanes like sometimes happen in "the good old days"

Since you all like the AHFS so much and the weak HP combos (what I mean by "SLUGs") lets hope (you not me) that the next combo that he or anyone else comes up with dosent fall into your class (whatever it is) after you have worked for a long time on your car and spent just about everything you could afford and the true potential dosent show up in this new combo until your at INDY or some other big event for class or a heads up run for all the glory and bucks.

The chances of Ed and Bob Shaw running each other heads up are well like winning the lotto.
