Raising Mineshaft Requirements To .95 Under For Stock

It's just a rumor, but if it's true how will that help the AHFS system?

Larry,

Will this statement also be revised?

"This will only apply to qualified fields of 32 or more cars. Automatic changes due to runs of -1.20 or more under the respective index will still count at these events."

However, I don't understand how this rumored change effects AHFS.

Will make zero difference other than it will never be mineshaft except for maybe Indy.

Sorry for the typing but I'm one-handed right now.
The only people that this will affect are the people who don't play the "welfare" game. It won't change anything for those who play the game.

NHRA needs to quit dumbing down the performance side of things for stock and super stock. Why not offer points for qualifying and national records? More heads up runs? Instead, they reduce class and heads up opportunities, and offer no incentive or recognition for records. They don’t support the few tech officials they have. If there is no upside to performance almost everyone will hang back instead of showing what the cars can do when AHFS can make an impact . You would like think a bean counter was running the show….

Race off national records....... that would shake things up a bit.

Or let it fly and suspend AHFS for 2 years and let the chips fall where they may.
