No AFHS for National Open @gainsville

[Tom Moock]

Stephen, sounds like a combo race not a NHRA Open with record runs.Tom

[art leong]

It is a national open with record runs. I believe there will be no normal AHFS but if you go more than 1.199 under you will get the instant hit. Whether you set a record or not.

No vote nessary, that is the way all national opens are run, no HP unless you go 1.20 under then you get the instant hit on monday or tuesday the next week! some combo's still need that block of wood under the pedal

Those of us that got the email from Mike Crutchfield........ It says NO AHFS, none zip, nada, take the lead out and and bomb the record 1.20 under be damned.

They may be saying the ahfs is not in play, but I would be very surprised if they will let a -1.20 run slide.

I don't think a 1.2 under run should slide. If you can run 1.2 under you do need some HP.

1.20 under used to be 1.50 under, it just doesn't sound so far under. Looking at the original Final Qualifying in SS at Indy, the whole field was 1.+ under taking into account the .30 NHRA took off.....who'da thunk? #128 Joe Tueton was 1.022 under with the previous indexes.

With the old mind set of indexes, I think no one would argue that 1.50 under (anywhere, anytime) was deserving of a hit.

Since there appears to be quite a bit of confusion and uncertainty about the AHFS for this race; I would think that Mike Crutchfield is the person that can clear this up.
