Any idea how the 396/325 got 5hp? I didn't think it was triggered and I thought Englishtown was a mine-shaft rule race. I see Steve Sawka went -.97 in qualifying at the Virginia divisional. He lost first round and results are not posted on DRC. Maybe he triggered it in round 1.

Did I read that right 67-70 Camaro/nova 350 295hp got 4 hp. If so I would like to know how???

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the triggers still count at mineshaft races. They use none of the numbers for the average, but the trigger still counts.

I thought when the mineshaft rule was in effect, the AFIS did not count. Meaning you could run up to 119 under the index. Which is it?

You are correct, as long as there are at least 32 or more cars qualified.

I thought the same, but the way it is worded the runs only don't count toward the average. I'm assuming there will be clarification on this coming soon.

In Boise Alan Messer ran a second under but that was with a stick car.

From the Lucas Oil Website:

"If at the conclusion of qualifying the first competitor in the bottom half of the field is -.850 seconds or more under the class index, the Q and E Data will not be used for the mid-year and year end reviews. This will only apply to qualified fields of 32 or more cars."

I guess you are right Hidalgo. I did it to myself!
