100 lbs of lead will save ya. Like cooter said I mean what Kenny Rodgers said
Please. For Indy put the same 1.20 hit back on and the ahfs will work. Like it should

It went from 1.40 (old indexes) to 1.20 (new indexes 2010). It should be 1.20 and yes probably 1.30 in mine-shaft conditions. Look what NHRA has allowed pertaining to rules, new products, technology. If you cannot run 1.00 second under today, you are not working hard/smart enough.
Do not penalize the ones working hardest or smartest at the top. Give them credit.

Here is a solution, sell your Camaro and buy a ford 302

If you want the AHFS to work there should be no free passes.
You got a combo that goes 1.20 under at -800 DA and one that does it at Indy at 3500 DA, which one really needs the hp? To say the weather blame is silly is silly.

I agree, there should be no mineshaft at all and no factored tracks.

If it was so easy to go 1 second under everyone would be doing it.
It ain’t easy. Unless you combo is soft like peanut butter.
Bob what combo did you go 1.40 under with?
Had to be pretty soft.

The less a guy knows, the more he credits the fast guy’s money!

What if mineshaft was determined by actual weather conditions rather than how many sandbaggers show up. I'm sure NHRA could afford their own weather station, make the determination in the morning what the DA is and if it's less than the nominal elevation of the track, it's mineshaft for the day. Just looking for ideas.
