Re: Bob Shaw is a bad man
There is a flaw in the AHFS. When the AHFS was originally written there was no provision put in place to rapidly correct horsepowers that are way out of line. This does not mean there needs to be a way to change horsepower when someone "thinks" it is out of line without actual on track performance data. However once someone blatantly exploits the system, there should be a way to refactor horsepower by committee. Two times of 1.40 or more under the index should allow the committee to set horsepower where they deem it necessary.

Re: Bob Shaw is a bad man
Come on Terry, This is nothing new, Ralph Truppi made a living back in the day by picking combos out of the guide book. When you went to him out came the book and you would know up front if the combo would cut it. Just make sense to look before you leap !

I think what it proves is there are ways to compete in NHRA, without a big fat wallet. Bob's car might just be the most legal Stocker at Belle Rose. I think it also proves that you still have to know how to bracket race to win anything meaningful. There is a system in place to deal with runaway combos. Bob ran up against it this weekend.

Re: Bob Shaw is a bad man
Yes he is.....I never said he was not but how do you think Ron Ortiz and Jack McCarthy not to mention others like Clayton Wright in his 65 Plymouth wagon and others feel when staging against him with thier wagons? Probably kind of how Bruce Noland will feel staged against the blown Ford Mustangs. Its the SYSTEM !

Re: Bob Shaw is a bad man
I think Bob should be made to run with the A/C on.And maybe run with Dave Ley,Russ Warnes,Jeff
Teuton and any other FFF of his choice. Since the CIC race isn't included in the data base the factor will not change,as long as Bob wants to hide it. Congratulations on your "Excellent Adventure". Ed
