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?

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 !!!

Can someone please explain what the benefit of lowering the indexes by any amount is going to help? If you lower it want the cars still be the same distance apart? And if you lower the guys that are crushing the indexes combo will never get hit because that magic 1.40 will not be attaniable. I don't know of any combos that are that soft to a point where someone could still hit unless it was at a factored track.

There are statistical clues on index corrections, too. GTAA is a good example. When several combinations are close to the bottom that is a major clue. This is the fault of the AHFS as it doesnt bear out the right numbers for corrections.

lynn, your quote about bad statistics..yeah it sucks because it seems like something is getting done but without 100% pure stats it is just wasting our time and keeping a good system from being impemented.

unfortunately you and i know you will never get 100% pure stats if we know the triggers

jack mccarthy

why lower indexes -.50 ? why not ? why should 90% of the cars in the country be -.80 or better ??
been since 1980's since they RAISED them, and anyone who cant run the index should take a local auto mechanics class.
