Qualifying with no AHFS

Interested in fellow racers opinions on this topic .... Recently I asked Kent Hanley to voice my idea to NHRA on having stock and super stock qualify at all events ( National and Divisional ) with no AHFS .... Same way comp qualifies with no CIC ..it would count for eliminations only.... Needless to say it was not accepted based on the statistical value of Q data needed to even up the combos
My thinking was in a performance based category wouldn't it be great to go to races....ALL RACES ..not just Opens .. And be able to run your car all out ... Maybe even go for the #1 spot if you can ....be a lot of fun !!!!! Also fun to watch !!!.. Let's face it .. in all the years the AHFS has been in effect we are no closer to evening up the combos / cars then when it was originally implemented .... I ran my 305 for 12 years and never got it hit for HP because I manipulated the car to avoid the AHFS like most of us do ... I think it's time for change .. Let's stop racing with one hand tied behind our backs after spending big money to build these cars

What you say ???????????
