Re: Word is 1.15 under for AHFS at Opens and Divisional races
Everyone should listen to what Lynn has been trying to get across for years. It seems that Angelo is and does understand, what about the rest?
Want to go fast? Great!
National and Divisional Races:
Qualifying and All Heads Up (class & eliminator) runs don't count. They are used as information for creating Lynn's system. Go as fast as you need to win. Evan's idea of awarding points is great! All runs during the eliminator (shoe polish) count.
National Opens: No runs at national opens count. Have a good time.These runs can be used to create Lynn's system.
After a couple of years of everyone having a good time and not getting hit Lynn's system should have enough data to be implemented.
The issue of atmospheric conditions and altitude tracks will need to be addressed. Some sort of algorithm will need to be created with weather conditions and actual altitude input to create a way of equalizing or averaging the information across the country.
A bit of a task, I would say. There would need to be a kit assembled with laptop loaded with software and weather instruments directly connected. No inputting weather and altitude numbers. A program like Crew Chief Pro could be further developed, weather instruments and GPs are available. Each division would have one or more kits. The kit would be updated and calibrated regularly by an single technician and sealed.
The official designated to operate it at the races would be properly trained.
The resulting factor would be used to adjust the actual performance numbers obtained and applied to Lynn's bell curve system. The factor more than likely would have to be established for each session as weather conditions change during the day, day to day.
Sounds like fun!
