I think.......Some one else verify that.

You're wrong Joe. The AHFS takes the best run of each national event into consideration when averaging a combo. If you run 4 nationals during a review period and you're combo has triggered a review, then your best run at each national will be counted in that average. If you go -1.17 somewhere, it would benefit you go to another national during that review period to try to lower your average in case it gets triggered!!!

The class average is what is bs!!! That's when your combo will get hit, when someone runs in a class by themselves and triggers the review! If you, or nobody else runs that class, you can't lower the "class avg!!" This has been happening in SS/GT w/the smaller front wheel drive conversion cars!!

NHRA can't even figure out the AHFS.....so anyone's guess on what is going to happen

Mark are you talking about NHRA manipulating the AHFS or the racers manupulating the AHFS?

No., I wasn't talking about the racers...this time.
That paragraph contradicts itself. Instead of editing it, if that's what they did, why not just write a new paragraph?
Or sentence?
How about this? ALL runs at National events count towards the AHFS.
Which is what it says,..or does it?

Bill, I screwed that up..(sorry, I can't be perfect everytime) I Should have said HP for the 396... remember when? It was a few years ago when he had some heat in the class. He made just over .50 under runs & moved the class avg below 1 second under in the review period. It was very evident. Bob & I had some good talks about what was going on when we were together at the shop. It became a very active topic of conversation between us & a couple of our race/Net buddies.. :~) I can tell you that if I do get to Memphis I will be manuplating the AHFS in SS/DS by not going 1.40 under. Isn't that now just part of the game?

Thanks, Adger, for the explanation.

I appreciate the time you took to clear that up.

Good luck at Memphis!!!!
