Vegas SS Qualifying - WOW!

So it does sound like there have been zero adjustments at alt. tracks since they added in the No alt. tracks or runs count.

Jeff,

Just to correct you, we never did sandbag the car until we got HP off. We only got HP off after they decided that the 71-72 350's got HP off and we asked for the same. When we first started running our car, we barely ran under the index. The first 1.5+ years of running the car, it was barely a -.5 player and still finished in the Top 10 even after losing ALL of our heads-up runs. After working, adjusting, HP adjustment, tuning and some better parts the car was almost able to run -1.00. After more work by B&B Automotive Machine in Lynnbrook, NY and even better parts we finally became a top half player. And the -1.18 run was THIS year in great air where many cars were better than -1.2, hardly rubbing their noses in it. Our earlier HP hit was fron E-town in what Warren Johnson called "once in a hundred years" great air. We got hit in great air, those at Alt. tracks should have to deal with getting hits in their great air also. Also, we are not now at less HP then when we started. Jeff, you lost that bet also!

Yes, we thought we had that one freebie also, but then they added in the family deal.

I just think that they should include ALL RUNS EVERYWHERE in their HP system. And then probably throw in a little common sense. (An Oxymoron??)
