Gainesville Mineshaft Thursday and Friday !!!

[Bobby Fazio]

Does mine-shaft rule protect -1.20 under runs by non-FS/XX cars or will these cars be getting HP on Monday?

Mineshaft does not protect against runs in excess of -1.20 so they will be getting the gift that weighs like a ton of bricks.

Just posing some possible revisions here:

1.) Expand the Factory Showdown to qualify 16 cars.

2.) If you signed up for Factory Showdown FS/XX and didn't make the field of 16, your weekend is over. FS/XX cars should not be demoted to the top of the Stock Eliminator ladder, especially if protected from HP penalty.

OR

3.) If FS/XX cars are allowed to be thrown into Stock, their index should be whatever the BUMP of the FS/XX qualified field was.

The announcer on Thursday morning said the DA was -2190 feet. Has anyone confirmed that number? We were freezing up in the aluminum stands. They made for great heat sinks on the butt. It seemed most guys were holding back as a lot of cars were running -.97 to -.99 seconds under.

I got to talk to a few of the Mopar racers. Thanks to Dyno Dan Zrust for his hospitality.

Looks like Jim would have run 10.83 or 84 if he held it down.
