CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Word is 1.15 under for AHFS at Opens and Divisional races

Dave, I was under the assumption that .20 was coming off all indexes, and didn't know the AHFS would be different for divisionals (qualifying based) than it is currently for National Events. That would have meant runs of -1.35 under with the current indexes! But since that is not the case......I would have to reevaluate!

I have said all along the number needs to be lower than -1.40 because you have the same people running -1.30 under or better at every points race to be #1 to get the bye. And if these racers don't go to enough national events to trigger reviews, then they never get hit, where someone like me who goes to 8 or 9 nationals has to constantly slow their car down to avoid the AHFS!

I love class racing just as much as anyone out here! Isn't that why most of us run Stock and Super Stock?? But when you have a fast car, and you are covered by a tenth or so..........shouldn't the AHFS even that out eventually???? I think that is what it's there for!

I'll be racing next year regardless of what happens! I'm sure it will affect me as much as it will anyone on here discussing the topic! Obviously none of us has all the right answers! And I'm sure this will all be the same for next season, so we can all voice our displeasure for another year!! No matter what is done......you will never make every racer happy!
