Default Re: We need a new "instant" trigger!

Maybe I'm taking this thread o/t, but here's some ideas for getting some of the soft hp ratings in line:
(I'm not advocating any of them. Just tossing them out)

Implement the AHFS adjustments 4 times a year.

Take away the "free race " during the data period.

Include altitude tracks in the 1.15 and 1.40 trigger (under the factored index)

Lower the "high side " trigger to 1.30 under.


Trouble is , if you implement all the above, you'll have alot more racers making 1000 ' runs in qualifying, and "bracket racing" in class and heads- up runs.
Not good , if you ever want to build spectator appeal for S/SS
