Default Re: "2012 and beyond rule proposals"

My 2012 proposal (or better yet... 2011) is.....

drop the AFHS "trigger review" from current -1.00 to -0.80
drop AFHS "auto hp" to -1.00 (same as 2009- old -1.30)

change AFHS review period to every 3 months (with 6 months of data)
+++ AFHS- use rolling 6 moths of data (drop 3 months add new 3 months)

That could work.
But tear all cars the get the instant hit down.
I wish they would use corrected altitude. And use all tracks even the altitude ones.
It is totally unfair that someone can go to a altitude track and run 1.5 under and not even get looked at.

Andy, read the rule book. Those things I mentioned are supposed to be the same. Guys with a 4 or 5 year old fwd conversion GT car, built by the rule book are at a disadvantage. If they are going to allow that stuff they should change the rule book.

I agree with Tom and Art about the triggers & altitude tracks. I don't see the 3.25% cap as valid. Should be a % based on the % they ran under the trigger. Should not take so long to correct the really bogus combos.

imagine cars like Stinnet, Morehead and Leblanc. All running "big" RWD cars in the GT classes vs the jellybeans. And remarkably, Shaun Leblanc's 8.97 still hasn't been beat (and gone through teardown).

Cool Re: "2012 and beyond rule proposals"

I wouldn't mind seeing a proposal to allow an engine that came OEM with fuel injection only, to be able to replace that system with an OEM or aftermarket accepted carburation system. Then I could save my future laptop for stuff like this only....
