Re: How crazy would it be.....
Well Billy, you say you've taken your meds, but we have no proof of that. In fact this idea would almost suggest otherwise. I think NHRA has a class just
like what you're suggesting. I believe they call it Comp Eliminator. And if for some reason spending that kind of money doesn't scare the pants right off of you, may I suggest you contact Greg Anderson or Richard Freeman who will work out a budget for that fits your lifestyle. J.R. |

Re: How crazy would it be.....
I didn't say that I liked the idea. But if ya think about it, lowering the indexes and doing away with the AHFS would have the same effect.

Re: How crazy would it be.....
J.R., think about the repercussions of that and lowering the indexes and doing away with the AHFS (which is what some Racers want). we would wind up in exactly the same place!

Re: How crazy would it be.....
Who said they wanted to lower the indexes AND do away with the AHFS? The poll question was for lowering the indexes only.

Re: How crazy would it be.....
And the majority of the replies wanted the AHFS triggers changed to a point where it didn't affect anybody IF the indexes were changed.

Re: How crazy would it be.....
So instead of shooting for a 14.85....I should start shooting for a high 12 or low 13?? (if we went back to the way it was)
Pretty sure that would mean whoever qualifies at the top of the field would keep racing and the rest of us would go back bracket racing. It would be a weird race, me with say a 13.00 index in U and someone else with an index equally away from their actual ET, wompin to stay ahead but not enough to set a record and be even farther behind in the next round...no thanks.

Re: How crazy would it be.....
Bryan what is the answer?
As a "hitter" in SS what is your solution to the failure of the AHFS? My take is it's more of an issue to Stock Eliminator. Back in the day before the AHFS it was a the crude way the Tech. Dept. determined HP "adjustments". The racers let it hang it out to take the stripe. Isn't that what it's about to win the round? Please correct me if you believe if I'm wrong. |
