New HP

[Chuck Beach]

Evan Smith is exactly right, it will never be perfect and really can't be adjusted that would make much difference. I have posted on here many times about this subject. Here is the list again:

1) we don't all go to the same machine shop
2) we don't all run the same combination
3) we don't all run the same brand
4) we don't all have equal OEM 'replacement parts' (heads, blocks, etc.)
5) we don't all spend the same amount of money
6) we don't all put the same time and effort into our combo
7) we don't all race at the same races where the conditions could be mind shaft or really bad
8) we don't all run our race cars on kill all the time nor do we want to because of the wear and tear, so it only makes sense to back them down if no heads up are involved
9) we don't all race the same number of races each year, so the data is not consistant
10) there are not the same number of cars that make up each combo, some have 2 or 3 cars (ie. 340) while others have 50 or more (ie. 305's)
11) we don't all own our own machine shops

So with this in mind are we trying to

1) create a socialist class (everyone is the same regardless of time, money and effort)
2) penalize the racers that work hard, spend the time and money to be the best
3) throw out what this class was built on ..... PERFORMANCE

Race and SHUT UP ....

You will never have a PERFORMANCE class when performance is based on shoe polish and a system of random numbers (hp factors) manipulated by the brake pedal, timing or excess ballast. However, I can fully understand trying to protect your combo under such a system. Truthfully no one should be able to protect a combo in a perfect world. (ET vs. MPH)
