Fast enough to take .17 at finish line. More than a car length At 116 mph

It might have been a car length but it appears he was dumped at the stripe, which is hard to control.

OK. I thought that was the reason for the "Mineshaft rule" to keep the combos from getting hit when the conditions were stupid fast like this past weekend. I didn't realize that if you still went 1.2 under you got hit with instant HP when the class met the mineshaft requirement . That probably needs to be changed.

The ahfs is a flawed system as it is. There is no need to weaken it any further. But racers do need to use some common sense when in mineshaft conditions.
