NOT GOOD! What if you can only run .60 under your "record" and the guy next to you can run 1.15 under his/her "record"? You've got no shot at winning so why go to the track?

That system worked for years, till they came out with the index, which has been argued from day one.

Eddie,

As someone who raced during those years I can tell you that it didn't work then and it wouldn't work now.

All it takes is for someone to bomb the record and you get to take your car to the dump as useless trash...and that happened alot! That's why the index system is a little better

What system will work fairly.....I don't pretend to know...but I believe the racers will be the ones that can fix it.

it seems to me the whole issue surrounds those who have chosen thier combos poorly and believe like our new president and congress that taking from those (who can go fast) will help those who dont wanna work.

Jack,

You ran 14.00 in U/SA at Belle Rose.One of your fellow competitors ran 13.03 in U/SA.
Are you saying that you chose a poor combo?Don't work on your car?

I have one of the slowest cars in Stock Eliminator (choose a poor combo,and only change oil),yet I am still within a second of the cars in my class.

Lynn:

I know you have a handle on the correct way to do the ahfs. so for us dumbies could you explain the correct scientific method .
Thanks

442 Olds, Jack has raced that car since before there was dirt so I think that you can safely say that he's attached to it probably like you are to your car and the man works his *** off on it and spends all but his "drinkin money" on it! Pick on him about something else.

If he spent his "drinkin money",would he be able to run 13.03 in U/SA?

Probably but I won't spend MY "drinkin money" either!

darryl,

bob shaw is the king of choosing the right combo
he does his homework, and does not cheat
i was impressed, and congratulated him on his impressive performance

with that said, i reiterate "THE AUTOMATIC HELP FOR SLUGS CANNOT AND WILL NOT EVER WORK" unless bob shaw is a complete idiot (and he is not) it would take i believe 5 more runs of -140 to get him to T/SA. we need a committee that is intelligent enough to look and say "geez, thats a 350cid olds motor, with bigger valves, similar camshaft, 500cfm fuel injection, maybe that 170 hp is a little soft compared to 283 215hp 415cfm carbs and 273's with what 200cfm carb (i know its tiny)" HMMM maybe it should be about 230hp ?????????

ahfs is only keeping us from having a better system... kill it NOW, and lower these stupid easy indexes about .50 while they are at it .

captain jack, -1.15 and still got enough drinking money too

any by the way -1.15 was an oops... i didnt mean to hit the trigger but i knew he was real late and i thought hey maybe i can get him some HP !!!
