How Much Is "Kill"?

It can be hazardous to your back, removing weight off some cars, especially in the old days when some guys had big 78 series, spare tires in the trunk full of lead or concrete...

I meant years ago. Spare tires seemed to have disappeared with the allowance of fuel cells in the trunk.

So if you go 1 second under at a mine shaft race is the 1 second counted as a hit for the review of your combo. I never thought it was but recently someone told me it was? BP

No doesn't count at a mineshaft race. Who is the someone?

Definitely not at -1.00 to -1.199 but -1.20 or faster and you still get HP even with mineshaft and I don't think Stock will see a mineshaft again anywhere except maybe Indy National, maybe.

Glen I would rather not say. He is not an NHRA official and is another racer. If my memory serves me correctly I had only gone 1 second under at mineshaft races. I was also told by a racer that races my combo at Cecil County he had talked to someone in California. That person told them unless the averages changed it looked like our combo would be getting HP. If you read the AHFS rules it says any runs in mine shaft conditions won't count towards the average runs. It doesn't say that the 1 under runs won't count towards a trigger for the combo. If anyone knows for FACT please chime in. I always thought it didn't but I'm not sure the way it reads. BP

Mineshaft means the runs don’t count.
Neither does a 1 second under run count to the average or trigger.
120 under run does count.
