We need a new "instant" trigger!

[Michael Beard]

There have been years of data compiled. Take all the data, do run completion on 1000' times, and compare everything to a -1.00 under baseline, and adjust *everybody's* HP once now, and be done with it. A ton of work once, and then just fine adjustments after that. How long has it taken to get HP factors even somewhat in line on some combinations using the AHFS? While people didn't like the politics of the pre-AHFS days, at least common sense *could* be applied.

Dave, you've seen my fingers! They're kind of like these blunt objects sticking out of my hands and the I is right next to the O.

Billy You know i am a little older than some on this post so I have seen the changes I have come to the conclusion that this whole index thing is a joke at best......What happened to the performance based national records that were held in high esteem..GONE...In stead of index how about .50 over national records as index...any current national record holder gains instant entry into national events no grading points needed. no adjustment for altitude tracks the record is the index....all national record holders are exempt from hp hits....let the games begin.....Daryl

Another cenario If like class cars compete say for class at indy no breakout but if they run under national record they become new record holder and have to tear down...even at a divisional meet they should seperate the cheaters form the legal cars...no sandbagging either make anational record mean something again.......D

Thats how I raced MP back in te 70's, worked then... how bout they add weight to the combo thats too far under.. like the trigger is 115 under for Nat event so if the guy is 145 under, about 300 lbs should get him there...gravity is constant
