How would you fix the ahfs

[Ed Wright]

Bill "Farmer" Dismuke would have already fixed it.

It is clear after the 2nd time that the horsepower is still wrong. NHRA calculates that the horsepower needs to be at 400 and refactors it there. This would eliminate any lengthy time span in getting the horsepower corrected.

Travis this would never work. You would have the same people doing the refiguring that looked at a 300hp factory rated motor added a bigger throttle body ported heads and rated it at 235hp. Do you really think they are going to fix any thing?

There is only one way to fix the problem and that is to put the right man in charge . The man for the job would be the one who has all the runs and times .Now there is only one man I can think of and that would be Nitro Joe .Nitro Joe seems to have all of the runs and times from all of the races . Just check out his Stat Book and see. Nitro Joe has been doing this for a long time and who do you think did it for NHRA before now ,Thats Right it was Nitro Joe .I think some one in NHRA either had it in for him or they thought they could do a better job . WELL LOOK THEY ARE NOT just my too cents

Nitro Joe gets the info directly from NHRA.

In the past it was Wesley who kept all the data straight. That is until NHRA decided someone else could do it cheaper in-house.

Actually, until the advent of the new cars, for the most part it was Wesley Roberson and Bob Lange who took care of the AHFS. I don't think Wesley or Bob would have signed off on the new cars, and I don't think their being removed at that time was just a coincidence.

Stocker 2 was a little quicker on the tree than I was. No surprise there.

Hey Clutch I was just thinking about how heavy you say you run your car, just off the top of my head I'd say that you're carrying too much weight, maybe almost 400 pounds with steel head or 300 pounds with aluminum head, IMAGINE that, how much faster you could be!!! OH you want to know about weighing 4000 lbs look me up I'll tell you all about it, oh ya don't get caught at the scale weighing that, they may bump you down a class.

[Ed Fernandez]

I kind of missed it but is the rule about weighing heavy into the next class down puts you into that class being enforced this year?

[Ed Wright]

Hope so.

[Steve Calabro]

I know of one racer that had to remove weight at Atco this past weekend. NHRA Tech also logged each car with number, class, factored hp, & weight into a data base.
