1.20 under at Belle Rose

[HR9121]

Mineshaft yes but 1.20 under is still an instant hit ofcourse. From what I was told the weather was it was incredibly fast and all I can say is under those circumstances he may have not known how fast he was going.

I've been on here preaching for a while now about the AHFS needs to be brought up to date. How long has it been the same!!!! Not many of you jumped on board. In those kind of conditions I bet there are a lot of combo's that could go 1.20 or more under. I personal wished more went 1.20 under. BP

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.

Has anyone ever thought about taking enough weight out to be light at the scales on the first qualifying run? That way you could run flat out just to see how quick your car would run at that event. Even a 1.20 under run would not count because the car would be too light across the scales.

that is completely false. 1.20 under and under weight is still a hit. look back at last year D6.

Even under weight?

Car left track Friday on wrecker with broken rearend. Came back Saturday first run was class. Was left on by .05 and opponent was going 1.17 under at 1000 ft. Opponent dropped him and he missed drop. After working on rear night before he had to tear down on Saturday. Does not sound like how I would have planned weekend. He did make it to final on Sunday and did leave with wally for class

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.
