That was in all formats; National, Points, & National Opens thru Pomona. One to go this weekend.

So you are saying that in 2010 there were over 630 runs in Stock and 300 in SS that were under by 1.10 or more but did not cause an automatic hit because the number had been lowered to 1.25 under. Since .3 was removed from the indexes, those 930 ET's that the cars ran would have been the same as 1.40 under in the previous year.

Checking data for 2008 I find only 5 runs in Stock and 4 runs in S/S that hit the automatic hit number of 1.40 under the index. For 2009 there were 6 runs in Stock and 8 runs in S/S that committed the same 1.40 under automatic hit. Something does not compute here.

Using Nitro Joe's Stats, I find that for 2010 there were 47 stockers and 21 S/Sers that ran more than 1.10 under the index. To reach the 630 run data under 1.10, each of these 47 stockers would have had to do that on average of13 times. In S/S each of the 21 cars would have had to do it 14 times.

Also in 2010 there were 12 runs in Stock that were more than 1.25 under causing an automatic hit. Of those 12 runs, 10 fell into the new car group. For S/S there was only 1 automatic hit and it was a new car.

630 runs for Stock and 300 for S/S...???????
