you know, if enough people brought this scenario to the attention of contingency sponsors that it will cause them to lose business, they might bitch and moan to NHRA about it.

Adger, you have too many toys.

Jim,

We are not going to use all qualifying runs, which is why it reads “final qualifying runs and all elimination runs.” It’s no different than this year, or years past. With that said you are correct, what ever the is listed on the final qualifying sheet will be used in the review process.

So, you hit the review trigger four times in qualifyimg, and only one of them counts?

[Toby Lang]

Thanks a lot, Jim. I was told last season that one person could get flagged twice during qualifying at the same race. Maybe I misunderstood or got the wrong info, but when I asked this same question in the other AHFS thread that Mike Crutchfield started he said:

I'm glad it's all cleared up now.

So, what if ?????

On one given weekend, at two different race tracks anywhere in the country, the same combo car (i.e. DP with same motor), which is two different cars with different drivers, go faster than 1.20 under to trigger an auto HP hit, does it get hit TWICE ??????

Bernie,
Good Point if this would have been in effect DP 5.7 would have been rated at about 390 by the time it left Indy!

Bernie, I believe the answer is "no". Last year, I believe Roy Johnson and someone in Division 4 (maybe Dempsey Pendarvis) both ran fast enough for automatic HP. I asked, and was told no, it only gets hit once. I would guess now, with the tiered HP hits, the fastest of the two runs would be used to hit the combination (i.e., if one car is -1.20 and another -1.40, the -1.40 penalty would be applied). I could be wrong.
