This is great news now there is a race that everybody can run all out, OH SH-T that's right it's only at this race! why? all races should and did count before so now we are going to start picking races at random!!! this is not right period...

Re: No AFHS for National Open @gainsville
 

It's not the only race. For one the CIC race at Belle Rose comes to mind.
Why would ir be a negative anyway?. It's not a go fast race. You still have to dial under.
You just don't have to be looking to pickup you time ticket while passing the 1,000' mark.

Re: No AFHS for National Open @gainsville
 

If you have a really fast car, go down there and see what happens the next week on Monday when you go 1.20 or more under.

Re: No AFHS for National Open @gainsville
 

Well I don't know if I can run that far under. But If Rich and Jim Collins tell me there's no AHFS I'll believe them and not worry about it. These are stand-up guys

Art, The CIC race at Bell Rose you can't set.records. Tom

Re: No AFHS for National Open @gainsville
 

But you can set records at during the day. Look up SS/GS

Re: No AFHS for National Open @gainsville
 

If you fuel check and weigh then it should count. The CIC race is not an NHRA event it's done by the track just like all the combo's that are not put on by NHRA, You can go as fast as you want at your local combo without penalty.

Re: No AFHS for National Open @gainsville
 

Why on earth are you guys against it? For years you could go to an altitude track and whack a record with virtually no chance of a hit. Before that for years records didn't count in the AHFS. I had some records that were way under.
So why not have a place you can go to a let it all hang out. If you can't run with the fast cars you aren't really going to hold a record long anyway.
I can't see how this hurts anyone? It might get quite a few cars down there.

AHFS= Automatic Help For Slugs

Re: No AFHS for National Open @gainsville
 

I'm not trying to start a ruckus, just wanted to understand why this seems to be an issue. Can someone explain the relationship between the Class Index and the National Record? How was the Index originally determined? I realize we just lost .30 recently, but can someone explain why?

If the National Record gets "hammered" at this event, what effect will that have on the Index next time someone try's to set the Record and has to trigger the AHFS to do it. Not that I'll have to worry about doing it, of course!

Bruce, I have every Godzilla movie ever made, and in English and Japanese, except for that thing in the 90's. That was not Godzilla. Do you know something I don't know?
