Why not a personal index for those who have damaged the horsepower on a certain comb. They could go as fast as they want, were they want and not have others suffer the consequences? It works in Comp.

Guys and gals, a lot of merit for people that think outside the box. One
question I had was for heads up runs. IE, Lyn and I both have '73 Centurys and he goes -1.30 under, and I don't. Now I can go -1.20 under, and I want to beat him in the final of a national event. it's a heads up race, so where is Lynn's penalty. I want it to be heads up. So I think it might make more sense to penalize Lyn the horsepower he got, lets say 10 H.P. and carry on. So instead of 1200 Stock Racers all having their own personal index, the affected Combo Killer might have a higher HP factor. So Lynn might be at 285 HP x 12:00 ibs. and the rest of us with the same combo would be 274 HP. So Lynn would weigh 3590 and the rest of us would weigh 3458. J.R. |

Mark, I agree. I dislike both ideas. I was trying to show why we couldn't
have personal indexes as they have in Comp because we would lose heads up runs. We never know who reads these posts, and some keener might run back to the office, looking for brownie points, and burst in the office saying" Look what I came up with". If it's a bad day, and their boss likes it, we could be in trouble. I merely try to present the better way to go in a bad scenario. Remember, making it equal and easier for everyone is how we got the index system. J.R. |
