AHFS Question

[Sean Cour]

So, let's say I make two runs in class at over 1.15 under. But in eliminations I dial her back and run four rounds at .70-.80 under. Does this mean that all my runs count towards my combo, and if yes, it shouldn't receive any horsepower? If all my runs don't count, why not?

Sean ,That's a damn good question.

Rich, Obscure combos? I resemble that remark!

Obviously there is a problem. Greg Hill had it right. One person and get one review point at one event. Two people can get two at one event. One person can do it at 2 events and get the review. I have followed this system since it's inception and that has been the way it was always done. Sean, your fastest run at a National Event is only what goes in the system. To offset your average, you would have to go slow every run at a National Event. Points Races only get hp if 1.40 under run. This is all fixable, just needs a little help. But it needs to be fixed before a buncha races are run, or don't make any till yearend. Or something.

Jeff, I understand what you're saying, but according to some of the latest h.p. refactoring, the way you described (that's the way I understood it) is not how it is being run now. I am now just trying to understand the "latest enhancement" and how it is being played.

I think all the members or the 'committee' have been contacted about various mistakes. I have been passing them along. Unfortunately I remember all too well the teardown at Indy of everything we had there(as many as four) for making suggestions. And it went on for several years. The good part is it's fixable, and we need a clear understanding of the system (which, like it or not, I thought we had).

That is sort of how it looks the way Sorensons have raced the last couple of years...even if that's not the reason . ..

It is also what The Fletch did to save B/SA a few years ago when another racer was going to hit the combo he ran. He ran quite a few races going less than .65 under to lower the class avg. It is just a way to work the system to save a HP hit.(or index) To lower the class avg. After 2 different + 1.15 runs just put the ego away for going fast and run a little quicker than .5 on every run at a few National Events. Jeff was right about the trigger being at two events for one person and both triggers at one event for 2. That is the way it was told to me by a former member of the AHFS administration commitee a few years ago when I ask him to hold a private class on AHFS. Understanding the system has kept me from doing a second index Kill on the class I run. I guess I had better be careful If there has been a change in the way the new group is applying the system.
