Mineshaft facts

[west coast]

All mineshaft does is protect the fast combo’s. Mineshaft is not determined by the weather it is only considered mineshaft when at the conclusion of qualifying the first competitor in the bottom half of the field is -.850 seconds or faster under the class index. To prove the point is Indy the weather sucks that time of year with high temperature, humidity and low barometric pressure. If we used Indy as the rule for mineshaft then almost all the race would be considered mineshaft.
The AHFS will not work affectively with the mine shaft rule in affect. Let’s talk about the AHFS real quick. All it does is try and keep the fast combo’s all at 1 second under. If you get horsepower you get weight and only slow down a little bit and probably still can run 1 under. If you get hit several times you are now a high 90 under combo. The AHFS doesn’t destroy combo’s if running high 90 under is considered destroyed?
For the people that are complaining about not being able to run their car all out, then go to your local track for a bracket race and you can run as fast as you want without getting HP.
I think the mineshaft rule should be removed.
If NHRA were to take a vote on removing the mineshaft rule it would be gone because it only affects the fast combo’s and there are way more slow combo’s then fast ones. No brainer.
Here are some facts on how many runs were affected by the mineshaft rule.

10% of the races were mineshaft
7 out 65 races were Mineshaft
54% of all 1 second under runs were mineshaft
238 mineshaft runs out of the 435 1 second under runs
How many combo’s will not get review because of mineshaft I do not know?

So how is the AHFS supposed to work if half the runs don’t count towards it?
