Here's an interesting stat! (thanks Nitro Joe)

Billy Nees · 12-15-2009, 02:15 PM

SS 1183runs, 13 runs faster than -1.40 or .0109% (just more than one hundredth of one percent)
SS 1183 runs, 138 runs SLOWER than -.40 or .116% (just more than one TENTH of one percent)
Stock 1550 runs, 16 runs faster than-1.40 or.0103% (just more than one hundredth of one percent)
Stock 1550 runs, 122 SLOWER than -.40 or .078% (just less than eight hundredths of one percent)

What does this all mean? Even though they are very small numbers it means that NHRAs (supposed) plan to move the indexes .3 down will adversely affect ten times more people in SS and 7 times more people in Stock than moving the automatic HP threshold .15 will!
Just numbers! I wonder if NHRA ever looks at them though. Probably not, they don't have a bearing on their bottom line. Yet!

Maybe they should leave well enough alone!

These runs where based from drivers best runs of the year which are in the end of year stats which are at the mailing service now being ready to be mailed out. So hopefully if they don't drag their feet everyone will have them before x-mas.

Here is some more interesting numbers, stats from each divisional race (numbers based off each drivers best run in what ever class they entered at each event)
Division 1
SS 234
STK 318

D-2
SS 180
STK 163

D-3
SS 311
STK 319

D-4
SS 155
STK 176

D-5
SS 141
STK 236

D-6
SS 90
STK 157

D-7
SS 186
STK 249

Billy-- I'm a little behind in my reading as these posts are getting a bit long in the tooth but this math isn't working for me ---- at least you can tell we're paying attention ! !

SS 1183,138 runs-- should read -----------11.6 %

Stock 1550 runs -- should read --------7.8 %

Nitro Joe Jackson · 12-15-2009, 05:45 PM

Jack, I'll take the blame i guess i didnt look at the point close enough.

Billy Nees · 12-15-2009, 06:51 PM

My bad, move the decimal point 1 digit to the left! but the comparison is valid!

vic guilmino · 12-15-2009, 10:24 PM

2 digit to the the other left????????

novassdude · 12-15-2009, 11:28 PM

The problem is the cars that were -.40 are all small time low budget cars. And nobody want them around. Neither NHRA or the big dollar racers. You know the old saying Money talks. Seems to be at work here.
