Re: New AHFS
Like NHRA, there are very few heads up runs but there is a curve ball: you can't go more than a tenth faster than the quicker car qualified in a heads up.
Love vs tolerate comes to mind. Last edited by Albert Lee; 12-22-2021 at 03:36 PM. |

Re: New AHFS
Personally I think mineshaft should be weather related before it is placed into effect. Low temp, low humidity and high Barometer should be the trigger along with stiff tail wind.[/QUOTE]
So if the DA is less than the actual elevation of the track it's mineshaft?

I should have spelled out what I meant. 2020 would not have met the new - .95 requirement, even though it was still a flat out deal. ;-)

So you work on your performance based class to have your car capable of running 1+ seconds under, you have a heads up and the #1 qualifier was .89 under. You ice, thin oil and all the other stops and run 1.10 all out, maybe because you had a worse light. What happens then? You lose? Or maybe you both run more than a .10 under?

Re: New AHFS
Think Al needs to clarify, never heard of this “curve ball”, in fact it sounds more like a screw ball or knuckle ball.

Re: New AHFS
The NMCA gives points for qualifying position. They WANT our cars to go fast!
The .10 rule allows for ice, etc. (If you didn't do that during qualifying)

Re: New AHFS
Clarifying "curve ball" heads up.
Car A qualifies 105 under, Car B qualifies 75 under. If heads up, both boards read 115 under and normal breakout rules apply. Just the messenger! AC |

Re: New AHFS
I'm a little bit confused; how can you break out on a heads up run?
