I'm still not sure what to think about record runs not counting to ASHFS. I wouldn't want to see somebody set a record @ 10.00 and then watch them dial 10.50 for the rest of the weekend.

. Hey Jeff, some of this happens and not necessarily due to the AHFS. A good example of this is Joe Sorensen and his B/SA Camaro yesterday at LODS at Firebird. First let me say that IMO, Joe is a great guy and a very good racer. Anyway, in rd 2, joe dialed a 10.48 and won. In round 3, he was heads up against Steve Wann. Joe ran 10.09 and won by a close margin. 4th round Joe dials 10.48 again. So the point is, Joe could run 10.09, on kill, but choses to run the car 4 tenths slower in eliminations. Is it because of AHFS or the cost of running the car on "kill" all the time???? So much of it has to do with the cost of racing now. For me, I could not keep racing if I ran my engine on kill and trashed an engine or two a year. so, what may appear to be an AHFS issue on the surface, may not be that at all.

Never mind. Computer problem.
