AHFS Updated

Still a little difficult to understand but they changed a little bit of the wordage for the automatic hit of 1.2. Sounds like an automatic hit can be produced at and NHRA race including opens. Unless I am reading it correctly, there is no penalty for runs of 1.199 or slower at Opens and they are not counted towards the average. At least that is what it looks like. Anyone with a better understanding of the system?

Looks to me like they just drew a line where it specified National and LODRS events. Now it means all including National opens.

Yep , pretty clear it means all NHRA events ............or there was a crease in the paper when they copied it ! ! ! You pick ...............

The way I read it, is that if you go quicker than 1.20 at a national open (or any nhra race) you get hit on Tuesday, Which has been that way for years just the number use to be 1.25 under last year and 1.4 under with the old indexes.

So the fast guys still have to go 1.55 under the old index's,they still get the .15 gift from when the index's were lowered.Only difference is the addition of the open races to the mix.Man,they're really coming around and starting to correct all the negative moves they've made over the past few years.Yeah that's the ticket.

If I'm reading it correctly. Doesn't it say toward the bottom of the page. All runs of 1.20 or more count including altitude factored tracks. Could get interesting.

Yeah if you took out the 1000' clocks. It could.

[Bob Mulry]

It looks like the big change for 2011 is that ALL runs will count in the AHFS including altitude...

In the past the the only AHFS used at LODRS & altitude was the instent 3.25% hit.

So 2 (two) runs, by the same car of faster than 1.00 under the index, at a LODRS or altitude will trigger a review.

[Ed Fernandez]

The hits shouldn't stop at 3.25%.Let it go up proportionatly with how much faster they go.You know,the Artie rule.

[Ed Wright]

It still mentions 1st round of class, do later class rounds not count?
