I need to apologize!!

On a bye run, if you only make a cruise run (20 second pass), does it get averaged in?

What if you only break the beam & back out?

Tim, you are fine. It’s still early in the season. In the Sorensen Brothers we Trust. They will get it all ironed out , they always do…..

MJ I don’t think the 350 Chevy holds that much water.

The Sorensen Bros. can make a 307 fast. Have they not done that yet?

That Camaro is the fastest Gen 1 Camaro on the freak'n planet.

It doesn't count. The rule was changed so that you have to go .65 under for the run to count towards the average. It seems that I am part of the small minority that actually thinks the new AHFS rules will sort out some combos in a hurry. That being said, I might have a different opinion if I had just spend $20k+ on a new engine, just to have to add weight by next year. What I would like to see, but will most likely never happen, is if someone goes wickedly fast, for NHRA to make an effort to make sure their stuff is legal before the entire combo suffers.

No, runs under .65 won't count.

I know that this will not sit well with a lot of you. I rarely post but I feel that I need to a least vent on this.
All the money that we spend to make our cars faster and more competitive only to be hand tied to go too fast and hurt our or our combo. To some it's all about the win to some it's all about how the car performs. In the end the blend of both is desirable. The current policy in place to me is confusing at best. and now we have good people with fast cars making decision based on index rather than making the car fast and consistent. Not sure this right and in the good spirt of class racing good for the sport. I know that there will be poo poo,rs so I guess let the dart throwers have at it.

Tim, Not sure what you're apologizing for .
For winning class?
For hitting the trigger twice?
For taking too much win light in the class final and putting your combo in the second tier for HP?

Be that as it may, the year end average for your combo has to be under -.85 .
If it's above that, what ET was used in the past to determine the HP hit? What's new then?
You can still lower the average by running.65 to .849 under as has been done every other year with this popular combo.
Am I missing something else new that pertains to Tim?
Anybody?

Thursday Test and tuning for .65 under runs? Not .649. Easier said than done.
