Bob Shaw is a bad man
 

Third round of CIC race 2.120 under U index. What a run.

Bob Shaw needs to buy a practice tree.

Why do you say that Fred? Afterall,this weekend his average light between Class Elims and the CIC race is about a .460. I think just needs to try. Lane

If he would have stayed with brunch like he did in the first round,he would have been fine.When he decided to have breakfast AND lunch,he ran into a problem.

Shaw's Cadillac can run way under the index, so far under that he could have brunch before leaving the line, and still win.

This is another example of how F##KED up the AHFS system is and how slow it is to respond to someone who scanns the class guide to find a slug combo that the average stock racer wouldnt race if it was the last car in the world. There are more such combos in the guide and its really not a sign of a good racer. Just someone who uses the system. A system that needs to be changed.

Was this the red Cad he had at Indy?

Gee Terry, thanks for ripping on some of the people that many DO consider to be not only "good racers", but great ones. I had a lot more to write, but I'll let it go.

Re: Bob Shaw is a bad man
 

Terry, there's nothing all that wrong with the AHFS. Its the unqualified personel assigning the horsepower numbers to those "Slug Combos" that are "F##ed Up"! There's nothing wrong with using the guide to you're own benefit! At least the car is in the guide in black and white and really does exist as a combo! It seems to me that Bob is reading the black print on the white pages of the rule book and the classification guide the way that it was meant to be used! Terry, show me any gray areas here!

Re: Bob Shaw is a bad man
 

I knew you guys would take it wrong......Im just pointing out the inequties of the current system. The combo should have been refactored a long time ago. No one cares at NHRA anymore. As far as Mr. Shaw is concerend he has found these combos for years and it dosent make you a better racer, car builder, engine builder, driver, or what ever to look thru the guide to pick a combo that should be running 3 or 4 classes higher than it currently is running. Its not his fault....hes just playing the game as it currently exists and it proves NOTHING except the combo needs HP and a lot of it..
