This would help also but its all become a joke. Maybe NHRA should start running stock and S/S like comp with a CIC except use 5 tenths as the "Hammer Point" for the HP hit instead of an index change.

Five tenths? Ouch! Almost everybody runs more than five under. That's a LOT of hp getting handed out. Somebody in Glendora would be really busy for a good while. Probably end up like Comp with only fifteen to twenty cars showing up.

lol....yeah maybe 5 tenths is a little to much. Its just sad that so many play these stupid games yet complain and bitch when the class cars can not draw spectators and NHRA treats them as red headed step children. Is it any wonder that the contengices are falling faster than the number of cars showing up to race. I know the economy dosent help things but the class racers are their own worst enemy. Who would want to watch a show with every one letting off at 1000 ft or prearanging the winner of a heads up run to save their HP factors. The class cars are about as exciting as watching the start, stop, stumble cars anymore. Performance is secondary to a bracket race. The AHFS will NEVER work because of this.

Exactly what I was thinking and one of the reasons I ditched my "Stocker" project in favour of having fun with our Stick Shift group.

What a joke. Pretty soon everybody will have a lawyer/spokesman at the scales. IT USED TO BE DRAG RACING !
