Wow, This could be the first move by NHRA that would make the AHFS have better teeth. It would be much more fair for cars which have been in existance for years and factored multiple times which continue to try to compete with BOGUS,or PAPER cars NHRA continues to allow as well as the lack of appropriate starter HP for the new stuff.
Just imagine where the Mustangs would be today running their current numbers with this system.
If I am correct a car 1.45 under current Index would be 1.75 under. Imagine how much quicker they would be corrected if anyone else races them in class. Problem remains how often would they be PUSHED to run fast and get factored?
Better think about a higher Stock class or move the designations down so A would be lighter car than current AA and etc to keep same letters used .
