I agree about AHFS. Too many guys have found too many ways to manipulate it. It's a game.

The AHFS does not work for several reasons.

1. Very little is done to truly reward performance.

If they were to pay points and money for qualifying. records, and class wins, it would solve that problem easily. So long as they do not reward performance, the AHFS is not going to work. Ever. And nothing else will, either.

2. Runs are not corrected to a standard. If they'd choose a "standard day", the same way the SAE sets a standard for dyno conditions, and correct all run data to that standard, they'd have good data. It's not like it is difficult or expensive, either.

3. More than a few combinations start out so far from being correctly factored that it takes forever to get them close enough to level the playing field, and as a result most people that may have to race against those combinations are forced to sandbag to protect their combination.

4. There is no required inspection of cars that trigger a review or an instant hit. So long as they're not light, and they pass fuel check, the runs count.

The list could go on,but that's enough for now. If anyone at NHRA actually cared if it worked, it might be different. What they should do is have an entirely separate tech department for the sportsman classes that doesn't answer to anyone with regard to the AHFS, factors, and the rules that affect performance. Have that department run by Len Imbrogno, Wesley Roberson, Travis Miller, Dave Ley, and Bill "Red Man" Floyd. If no one could over rule Len and Wesley, most of our problems would be solved practically overnight.

^^^^^^* Absolutely correct!!!!

How much would it cost them to award points for records, like they used to, and for qualifying? Not one frigging dime.
Tech guys would likely prefer to not have to tear down more cars for setting records.
