The mines are now closed (AHFS)

I have not read the complete posting by NHRA in this regard.
"ALL RUNS COUNT" statement, my question is, does that include runs slower than the . 350 ?

NHRA announces Automatic Horsepower Factor System (AHFS) Changes for 2023
In an effort to bring Stock and Super Stock back to its grass roots of being performance-based eliminators, and lengthy discussions with Racers, the SRAC, the Stock/Super Stock Rules Committee and the Rules Review Panel; NHRA has made the following changes to the Automatic Horsepower Factoring system (AHFS) for 2023.



· All runs count for end of year average

· No automatic adjustments

· No mineshaft

And it appears the -1.20 or quicker isn't immediate anymore.

This will have EXACTLY the opposite effect of what it is intended to do.

In fact, after thinking this post over for a few minutes, these changes are/were apparently made by people who don't run the eliminators and are just flat not smart.

Yes and no. Qualifying will be fun to watch...

Not true...

It seems pretty obvious as to why this big rule change has been made. It was pretty cool to see Worner and Huntzberry run all out at Zmax in a heads up run. A lot of people thought they'd go to 1000' and click it and I'm glad they didn't. That was an awesome race and its what this class is all about. So, next year if that same scenario happens with another pair who can fly, they can run it all out and concentrate on lowering the average the rest of the year and not get any horsepower. This is a performance based class and while some of us dont have the deep pockets to get to that illustrious 1.00 mark, we can still be compeititve by working on our car and with our engine builder to find ways to pick up some e.t, or if you have to sit out half a season and save up some $$ to get that level where your comfortably under the index when the air is awful then so be it. Ive been in that boat, actually Im always in that boat, making sacrifices financially so I can afford to have the best engine my pockets can put together, also working with and having a solid relationship with an engine builder/machinist who understands my budget is a huge plus.
