AHFS Question

[Chuck Norton]

After reviewing the most recent list of horsepower assessments, it occurs to me that it must be possible for one car, at one race, on one weekend, to earn a percentage hit based on exceeding -1.15 the index more than once and, at the same time, establishing an average for the combination that makes the assessment inescapable. Obviously, I don't have access to all the run data but I've been going through the limited information that's available and I can't recall a previous instance in which the system was applied in this manner.

A case in point that caught my attention is the instance of the number one qualifier in Stock at Topeka. As far as I can tell, that car attended only one national event during the first half of this season and was assessed a horsepower penalty last week based solely on runs at that one event. I am not aware of anyone else running that particular combination during that segment of the season so it appears that one racer at one event both triggered a review and established the average leading to an assessment all in the course of one day.

Were there other combinations affected by this interpretation? Has this interpretation been applied previously and I just missed it?

Chuck, It seems to me someone posted some AHFS rules and asked it they were new and what they meant. Of course ,they were undecipherable mumbo jumbo that could be taken to mean one thing, or just the opposite.
I CAN tell you, it didn't happen to me last year with one strike in one rating period, with my one of a kind V/Stick combo.

Mark,

Did you earn your strike by running -1.15 once in one weekend or did you assume that, having exceeded the magic number once that weekend, another such run at the same event would be part of the first strike or that it would be the final nail in the coffin? (Sorry for the "coffin" reference. Us old guys shouldn't use that word lightly!)

The way Wesley said it works is 1.15 triggers a look and 1.40 automatic review.

[Chuck Beach]

The 1.15 has to be triggered twice for a combo in the review period (first half or last half of season) and 1.40 is automatic except in D3, Travis and the tech dept. tears you down after the 1.40 under run.

Chuck, Maybe this will help explain:

Chuck , looking at it again, I decided to turn it loose during the class single, knowing (or thinking) I had one free RACE coming. I'm quite sure I went better than 1.15 under in the first round. No data available on DRC. Okay, I'll shut up about this now.....

No problem, Mark. Now that you've been so forthcoming with information, you'll get yours in the next segment.

Cheers,
