We need a new "instant" trigger!

-1.40 for the automatic hit *may* be OK, I don't know. If you were to lower it to, say, -1.25, and they ran Class at a race with really good air, there could be many combinations receive HP on Monday...some of which that really didn't deserve it. Or, I should say, were not severely underfactored. So you would have those racers complaining. If you leave it at -1.40, then it could take a while for a soft combination to get hit enough to be in line with the others in his/her class, unless the driver messes up. I think you wrote in another thread that Bob Shaw would need to get hit three or four more times to really make it fair on the rest. Some would say that would take too long. So no matter what the trigger, many racers will not be happy. I guess if it were up to me, I wouldn't change it too much. Maybe -1.30?
