Happy Birthday to the great mathematician Larry Hill!

NHRA needs to realize that favoritism and special treatment outside the published rules will kill the Stock/ Super Stock sport. Everyone suffers from Elephant’s Memory.

What I believe we can ALL agree on is that there are bogus, for lack of a better word HP factors on many combos across the board. IMHO, there needs to be a "fix-it" clause put into the AHFS system to take care of these "mistakes"!

Lonnie, are you listening?

There’s a fix it clause, it’s the Hp reduction part in the AHFS. I got my pink car competitive staying with in the published rules. Like they told me that I needed to work on my car and I did. So how does NHRA fix all the racers that have lost to these combos that got reduced outside of the published rules. I know I lost a heads up finial at Indy to one of these special cars, and it still bothers me.

I don't mean that we need a "fix-it" clause to give MORE combos BACK HP!
We NEED a, call it an "oops" clause or an "aww s#!t" clause or a "reset" clause to undo the HP give backs that some combos have already gotten!

Mr. Larry,
If this bothers you this much, why not go to the source instead of an open debate forum?

And Happy Birthday!?

Brett.
I would really like to know who decided to go outside the rules and favor one or two racers. So do you think I would get any kind of answer asking NHRA, but I will try.
Thanks so much for the birthday wishes. We hope to see y’all soon. Safe travels and good luck.

Not sure of what answer NHRA would give you, but as much as I enjoy this site, the answer you seek will not come from here.
All the best!

Not sure of what answers you may get from NHRA, as wasn't it them that made this move in the first placer??..

I think there are better educated responses here, rather than some Johnny Come Lately that NHRA believes knows their stuff, just because they know somebody and got a position.. just my opinion..

Guys,
The last sentence in the AHFS explains the math.

"Adjustments are rounded up to the nearest full horsepower even if the fraction is below 0.5 horsepower. As an example, 2.15 horsepower is rounded to 3 horsepower. The quickest run, by the combination being reviewed, is used to determine the adjustment percentage. The decision to adjust horsepower or to increase the index will be at the discretion of the AHFS Committee.
