Re: Raising Mineshaft Requirements To .95 Under For Stock
I wouldn't have a problem with -.85.
Good idea...I'm surprised NHRA adopted it. I suppose having AHFS at Indy is okay too. It's going to be mineshaft anyway. Having 2-3 cars that run 1.5- 2.0 under there just showcases what a p. poor job they did at factoring them in the first place.

IMHO, it has almost gotten to the point where it all needs to be torn down like in '73 or '74!

That's the point, it's up to Lonnie and his team(?) to sort the intel from there and make sense of it.

I believe it was 1972 when they went back to pure stock rules. Street tires, exhaust, etc.

Re: Raising Mineshaft Requirements To .95 Under For Stock
I don't see how this would fix anything. I actually think it gives more opportunity to lower the average.
Under the current system, I would like to see the 1.2 trigger raised at mineshaft races. |

Wellllll, upon further review, maybe not that far back but the mid-90s would be nice.

Re: Raising Mineshaft Requirements To .95 Under For Stock
So if they are considering .95 under why not just do away with mine shaft conditions all together. Why not just do away with Stock being a performance class. No more heads up. No more class run offs. Lets make it an even playing field for those that don't have a clue, or are just to lazy to work on your car to make it faster. It's not just about spending money on your car. It's so much easier just to complain about those that are faster than you and hope NHRA hits them with HP. Got to love the HP welfare system. With AHFS in effect at Indy this year. How many stockers went 1.20. All it did was make many that love the performance side of stock stay away. And those that still went that could run 1.20 under played the game. How many along with me stay awake at night thinking of ways to make your car faster. I'm glad to have someone like Jim Boudreau in my class that is faster than me. He pushes me to want to make my car faster than him. It just sucks that you could get punished with HP for making your car faster in a class that has been performance based. BP
