Well we are still here but I've been crying in my beer so to speak for most of the day after 1st round. Been doing alot of visiting since this the last time I will see most of these racer friends for this year. We decided to hang around and watch a little tomorrow so I may get chance to do a little reporting also.

HI Barry,,if you were watching D1TV yesterday Alan Rhinehart asked Dave Mohn several times to eliminate the AHFS for yesterday so no one would get HP if they ran it wide open during yesterday's last round of qualifying. With Alan understanding the idea of letting off before the finish line is,,,kinda boring to watch. We need someone like Alan to help modify this system for better racing and put the old bonus of $200 for the #1 qualifier!! He even repeated,,,You build a Stocker to go fast then they put a penalty on you if you go to fast!

Barry you were dreaming.
The only place that HP will get straightened out is Indy my man.
That’s the only race you get enough fast cars to fix it
Everyone wants to cry and bitch about this soft combo ..yet know one wants to pay the price .Also run Class Eliminations at Divisionals. More competition

Some nice little touches like that go a long way.

Cameras (stationary) were well placed with the half track being a little blurry. Not on it for long. A+

It's very overcast this morning so the tree will be bright the first hit, I hope the people left in remember to add some numbers in their box. They've been dragging the track for a good while this morning and worked on the starting line until very late last night so the track should be in great shape.
Hey Perrone I met the Masshole yesterday, he seems like an ok guy maybe y'all need to sit down and talk lol.

James you are right I'm dreaming !!! I'm dreaming of a day when we don't have to race to the one thousand foot mark when there is a heads up. Or after trying to make your car (in a performance class) go as fast as you can. Only to lift at the thousand foot mark not to go 1 under. If I thought the cure was to have the AHFS in play at Indy I would be all for it. Maybe you should go look at this years qualifying for Indy. 159 of some of the best cars and only 23 ran 1.20 or more under. And more than half of them were FS cars. A few were either one off cars that not many run and as they say either are under factored or in the wrong class. Unlike you I've been to Indy many of times. Won class in multiple cars and have been to the barn many of times going as far back as Paul Harvey Ford. The last thing I would do at Indy is get my combo HP. Some may be willing to do that but anyone that has spent the time and money and has won class multiple times in my opinion would be nuts to. Indy has had years when the air has been pretty good in the early morning. What if that Mass guy you like so much goes to Indy next year and runs 1.20 under in your combo. So please with this past years numbers tell me how you think putting the AHFS in place at Indy will be the cure. You ran almost 1 under 5 years ago there. How fast could you go now? The AHFS needs to be tweaked. It has been the same since it was implemented. Barry
