This is how it was run at the Baby Gators

Is the AHFS in effect for round 1 of Class as this is typically considered a qualifying run? Also, do you have to make a qualifying pass under the AHFS rules in order to run round 1 of class which is typically laddered? I understand that record runs are excluded from the AHFS and the AHFS is in play for the eliminator as well as for the regular qualifying runs.

There are alot of questions about this race, AFHS, qualifying, if you can run class if you don't qualify on Thursday, can you just show up Saturday. If anyone thinks they can answer these questions other than those who work for D1, I think you are mistaken, even if we know how it works for other races. Until D1 answers these questions, it's all speculation. I really can't even guess how we will qualify for class, run for.class, and have a ladder for 1st round without requalifying and not have the AFHS count.
But maybe that's what they are working on.

It is currently being discussed and they are trying to make it a great race for everyone involved.
Solid Details will be available very soon
