Word is 1.15 under for AHFS at Opens and Divisional races

Jeremy,
Have you ever raced at an event where you took your shoe polish and predicted what your car will run?
If so,you have BRACKET RACED!
Also,I believe you race a 340 engine.I apologize if that is not correct.Years ago,those cars didn't run very fast at all.In the last few years,everyone of them seems to be well into the 10 second zone.
How did they pick up all of this et?
I'm thinking the heads are not Stock for one thing.Another is that the replacement piston that is accepted is not really made to the same specifications as the Stock Piston.This allows the combination to take full advantage of the "new cam rules" from years ago.
Clearly,these items have helped improve the performance of the 340 cars among other things.The whole point of this thread has been discussing AHFS.The horsepower needs to be adjusted on the 340 because of these improvements.Thanks.

Im not against stock racing being a performance based class,,,,it SHOULD BE,,,but all Im stating is that there need to be some realistic way to make nearly everyone happy,,,,,its is true, there are not enough heads up runs,,,,,,,,,it is true, with all the additions in the last few years, the indexes are a little soft and the AHFS dont work like it was intended

Im not sure what is triggering this change,,,I did a limit research,,and I dont see any slow S/SS running .10 under winning any money

no matter what you change ,unless they outlaw every class but one,,,,this class will alway be a bracket class,,,it doesnt matter if I change my dial in or they set it for me in the tower,,,it alway will be bracket racing

In our sport,,,(bracket style racing),,,MONEY ruins it,,,,,so be carefull,,,,,I see it easier to beat the good bracket racer then the guy that has you covered by .30,,,,,,,,and that seems what this wanted change is all about,,,,,,keeping the bracket racers out...dont make it so expensive that ordinary Joe cant afford to do it

I have an idea,,,,,maybe it souds stupid at first but think about it before you reply

what about throwing the AHFS out the window,,,,,,,no points or money for where you qualify,,,,,,dump that money into class run off wins...maybe give a few points for winning class and only have a HP review every 3 years...right now..there is absolutley NO REASON for one to go quicker,,other than bragging rights,,,,and at least with a 3 year review and more money and points for winning class,,,,it would be some incentive to go quicker without the imediate worry of having to throw an extra 100 pounds in the car,,,,,,,
