We need a new "instant" trigger!

Don Himes · 03-30-2009, 03:36 PM

I've been watching the Lucas page on NHRA.com and still can't find Mr. Shaw being hit with the "automatic" 6 h.p. from qualifying at Belle Rose. Maybe he's getting a "pass" on that one! Now about the AHFS: no amount of h.p. hit is going to make the system fast enough, but we can make it faster than it is now. How about; 1.150 to 1.199 gets 1.25% - should be torn down
1.200 to 1.299 gets 2.5% - should be torn down
1.300 to 1.399 gets 5% (Tear down manditory)
1.400 or faster gets 10% (Tear down manditory)
that should speed it along a little!

Woah, Don, have you been mixing your meds with alcohol again?

Looks good.....if the indexes are not lowered. Maybe start at 1.0 under and work from there. All should have a manditory tear down though before adding HP to a combo.

I agree.

Actually, Terry, if you think about it, if everybody gets factored properly, you won't have to move the indexes!

AH YES.......But we both know that will NEVER happen.

Michael, I have a problem with "factoring everybody" when it's not needed.

I apologize for not qualifying every statement in every sentence.

If you read my earlier suggestion, it was to factor combinations against a baseline, based on years of data already collected. This would not be factoring "everybody". Take the broad brush in context, please.

i answered... i do not think any "automatic" device will work because we can manipulate it...
like >
had it not been for pats $$$$ bob and i would have been in t & u and no hit would have been made...
had bob and i both had caddies we could have run to 1000 foot and saved the combo...
but>
since i towed 800 miles i was gonna race that damn caddy !

we need someone with the AXE and some intelligence too,THEN if you hit the new trigger... SHAZAAM they look at the potential of the combo and adjust it.

we need a horsepower committee

jack

if i cant get what i think is right ill take don himes post it makes most sense of all
