looks like he was left of the groove and car did not launch straight drifted left at the hit---watched it several times --FED 387

Exactly, he was out of the groove

After reading thru all this.
change AHFS
separate factory showdown cars
drop the index
add to the index
tear down if under 1.20 index
spot check if under 1.00 index
and a bunch more I don't understand why any of it even matters other then qualifying it is nothing more then a bracket race and why does any of it matter if you are faster slower newer older you put in your dial and get as close as you can. Everyone is striving to go faster but it is harder to win in a faster car then a slower car, traction problems on faster cars harder to judge the line and there is more to the slower car being more consistent. So everyone wants to Qualify well top 10 or better WHY other then ego what is the difference if you go 1 second under your index and run someone a half second under there index faster slower makes no difference when you dial. Please tell me where I am wrong I am usually right at the top of qualifying with lowest et highest mph how does that help me at all, other then ego. I keep reading the factory showdown cars are to fast it is not fair they should be in there own group WHY what is there advantage. Is it not just a bracket race and what does a great qualifying position do to help? I really don't understand all different suggestions in this thread someone please explain.

Hey! I'm coming. Don't change anything I haven't finished the car yet. I already made expensive changes because it's taking me forever to build a new car from scratch while still working and raising the kids. I probably won't be able to finish it until I retire in a couple of years, so I vote no changes. By the way I'm coming over from Super Gas where I spent money to slow the car down.

Me too... well I wouldn't complain if there were more heads up races.

Yes and I watched it when it happened from the live broadcast. I guess the "GROOVE" just wasn't wide enough ! It will happen again to someone !
