Default Re: We need a new "instant" trigger!

Ok, now I see what you mean, and what you want to do. By "trigger", I thought you were referring to the -1.40 under mark. At 3.25%, an A/SA 427/425 would get hit 14 HP. Bob's car, at 180 HP in U/SA, gets hit only six. Which, on the surface, doesn't seem fair. Yet, the the U/SA gets more weight added (120 pounds vs the A/SA's 112 pounds). At 4%, it would be 18 HP and 144 pounds in A/SA and 8 HP and 160 pounds in U/SA. 5% is 22 HP and 176 pounds in A, 9 HP and 180 pounds in U. I suppose if one were to want to increase the rate at which a combination receives HP, they would go for a higher percentage (4 or 5%). Would that be too much or not enough? You might poll 100 racers and get 75-80 different opinions and responses. Maybe we need a poll posted on here to see what other's opinions and thoughts are. ME personally, again, I wouldn't change much. They could always make a small change, maybe up to 3.5% and see what that does. BTW, did you get your book in the mail, Billy?
