What Should The NHRA Do About The Averages?
 
As there is very little data in the database, should the first adjustment be cancelled this year?

Also, since there are only two Class Eliminations left, should they both be HP exempt?

It is not probable,but "possible " that every dragstrip closes in the United States for good and you are worried about the averages?

I would keep both adjustment periods and reschedule the first one so it’s as close to the middle of the season (half of the races completed) as possible.

I don’t think any of the races should be HP exempt. There are a lot of combos in the past that were under factored when they first appeared, those cars went fast, won class a lot and got HP. It cost them something to go to Indy and win class. Today many of those combo’s can barely qualify for Indy. The underfactored cars of today should have their time to shine and be at the top of the qualifying sheet but it should cost them something to do that just like it did in the past.

If you can go -1.20 at Columbus in July or Indy then the combo probably needs hp. If you’re that much faster than everybody else you shouldn’t have to go -1.20 under.

Oh, the drama!

Why are you wasting what could possibly be your last moments on this site?

Get a life. The questions are fair.

Because I find it hilarious how this can possibly be your greatest concern right now.

Re: What Should The NHRA Do About The Averages?
 
However NHRA does it I will adapt. I ain't been nowhere. The combo I will run was raced one time and it was Mineshaft, so no data points. Thanks Mr. Paul.

Re: What Should The NHRA Do About The Averages?
 
I hope to be wrong,but I don't see NHRA having the funds to staff the employees that figure out the "averages".

So in answer to the original question,I think you will be able to go as fast as you want without any penalties from now on.

It is extremely presumptuous of you to assume that this is my only concern.

I do plan to support the sanctioning bodies and race tracks that I love. I just want to know the terms that I will be racing under.

Again, why are you wasting such precious moments with things that you find so trivial?

You are right.That was an EXTREMELY important question that you asked .

If possible will you rent or buy Mr. Jim Boudreau race car and race it. You could make a lot of racers happy. Maybe not so much for Jason, Lance, or Brian.

How about anything that is 2010 and newer gets 10 hp. Anything older gets left alone for the first six month period. BP

I personally find it hilarious that you even post on this site. Do you even own a Stock or Super/Stock class car?

FB, TV, radio, and apparently even Class Racer. There's simply no where to hide. The world is ending, most likely within the next 48 hours, and we should all go kill ourselves...

To answer the question, I would think in light of the circumstances, only one review period at the end of the season. However many events are run creates the data base and the chips fall where they land.

Larry,
I doubt that is possible, but you knew that. Hope to see you at Indy.

Asinine comment, Larry. You should try working as hard as Jim in racing instead of typing harder than Jim. Jim has always been one of the hardest workers in D1 and in the sport.

Should worry about the sport as a whole at this time and not pinpoint or make a snarky comment about one racer.
Not appreciated as someone who loves Stock and Super Stock.

Hard work ....... that's the speed secret?

Thanks!

I never made the connection.

......and I even talk slow!

Hit the wrong button...
I could be wrong, but I don't think LH was insulting JB, just the opposite.

You don’t even recognize a compliment when you see one.

Does anyone know if Jim runs Iron or Aluminum heads?

Funny how quick he was to jump on Mr Larry and insult him with a statement about hard work to a man who builds his own **** in the back yard but can't come up here and admit his mistake.

Greg i apologize to you and your brother or family as it seemed like a general topic and then was directed to one racer/team, and appeared to be a side handed compliment. Main topic is NHRA and let's hope they will be around for the younger generation and make it through these times.
Good health to everyone!

Mr Smith

Greg and son Andrew Hill are no blood relation to our Hill family. Greg and Andrew Hill are one of the few families that father and son have each won the Division Championship in Stock, quite an accomplishment.

Jim and his orange Camaro have been my yardstick for years to measure my programs success or failures in on track performance. Sometimes the gap closes just a little bit, but most times the gap widens. Racing Jim in class; he never leaves anything in the trailer, and I do my best to pay him the same complement.

Now back to Quo Pro Joe. My point of the post was never assume what NHRA will or won't do. As soon as you assume something it will bite you where it hurts.

Bob It's great you took time to defend your friend Jim. And I promise I try to outwork Jim or anybody else everyday.
