Default Re: If you could run a National event without the AHFS in pl

Isn't Class a race within a race?


If your in the eliminator AHFS applies to all, to be fair.


Maybe this will help some understand: Indy is a qualified field of 128 out of 200, so 72 racers don't make the race. Reasons the 72 don't qualify: 1 breakage, 2 missed clutch, car set up and or tune, 3 ink (Read too much horsepower adjustment over the life of the combination). Its the FS/X's ability to miss the ink, that is the smelly end of the stick that everyone including the other new cars who run the natural class dislikes. It will take some time for the AHFS to get them close to where FS/X's need to be, but it will get them. It won't take long to settle them down to where they will be like the rest of us hoping that this last qualifying run will get them in "The Show". 4.5% of 500 hp. is 22.5 hp. or 157lbs in a 7# class.


If you are not the lead dog the view never changes!!!!


Back to work on my combo.
