What's a decimal point here or there, among friends? I wish all a Merry Christmas!

Joe,
It would be interesting to know the number of runs and % that are between 1.1 and 1.40. Those guys will be .80 to 1.10 after the change.
If the trigger is lowered to 1.00 the racers that fall between 1.00 and 1.1 in the new system will be in line for AHFS HP or index correction. That is another number you can give us stats for. That is probably a pretty large number. For a company that is struggling with the effects of recession and the number of employees falling, NHRA probably hasn't realized the amount of work they are creating for those few employees left. If the trigger is left at 1.15 it should be less paper work. Or could this be their way to "Thin the Herd"?? Hoping the -.40 racers just don't show up anymore.

Not all of those runs of - .4 or slower are all slow or low budget cars, they could be 1000' racers or racers that want to be at the bottom of qualifying ..

What's wrong with being a low budget racer? Why does nobody want us?

Chuck, I believe that Joe's stats are set up to show that drivers best run in that car. I can't imagine all of the qualifing runs and eliminations runs being 1000'!
