AHFS Changes.

Duane, good post. One of the things I wonder about, is what effect is
this going to have on engine builders, cylinder head people, parts manufacturers, etc. If someone has a .90 to 1.00 second under car,
they still strived to make it better, certainly in the event of a heads up
run. And lets not forget the ego factor.
Now, with that same car, and if you don't see a lot of heads up runs where
you race, I think there is less motivation to spend money, to make it faster
when for sure whatever you spend is going back to the AHFS gods at
year end. In the past you could invest(did I say invest??) in your car,
pick it up when required, and go to 1 or 2 races and run 35-45 under
and clean it up. If you 1.25 under now, it will take a few more runs to clean it up, and shooting through a narrower target( .65-.84.9). It will be interesting to see where it all settles if there are no AHFS removed races.
