Bryan, I would agree. Mineshaft for Comp = mineshaft for everyone. But Comp uses -.61 under for the first car in the bottom half (11 in a 20 car field,. 17 in a 32 car field, etc). I'm not sure what number would be fair to use. -.61 would make a lot of races 'mineshaft'. -.85, like you said, only Indy might make that cut and 1-2 others. It took -.882 to MAKE the show at Indy in Stock. Not sure what a fair number would be; maybe -.75. Just some more fun stuff to debate before Pomona.

What I meant was if the "Mineshaft" conditions are met for Comp at a race, then Stock and Super Stock should be considered mineshaft also. So if that Comp number is -.61, then regardless of what the bottom of the top half runs in Stock and SS, they are still mineshaft. But there would still have to be a minimum number for Stock and SS for when Comp is not contested. I looked at races like the 4 Wides, where there were definitely mineshaft conditions, yet the -.85 number was not hit.
