Maybe a way to speed up the AHFS is to eliminate dial under ( It’s not bracket racing) run off the index which will be like heads up and cause the AHFS to adjust the combo’s much quicker. If the thought is only the big money fast cars will win it should only be short lived as the hp adjustments should bring them back to the field.
They do tear downs at D1 opens every time a record is set in Canada.Seen it done many times.

I was at Firebird Raceway near Boise and watched class run offs last year. It is run off the class index and is fun to watch, I stand about the 1200 foot mark. I will be there again this year and plan on seeing some great racing. See you all there.

I don't often post here but I have a question. What would be the problem with making the review trigger for two runs at -1.1 instead of -1.0. Even after seeing the first couple of races this year it is pretty clear to me the recent changes made to the AHFS are not the answer. Cars are running slower. They did increase the instant trigger to -1.3.

The fast run triggers the amount of HP you get. The glory will be very short lived for some as by year end they will be moving a class. There is a rule in place and it will be way too late for some to see the value in .70 under runs. I hate to quote Al Corda again but it is free to pay attention

Under Index Horsepower Increase

1.000-1.099 1.25% 1.00 under

1.100-1.199 2.25% 1.10 under

1.200-1.249 3.25%

1.250-1.299 4.25%

Just to be clear!

This is not being brought up to stir the pot, it is simply to educate some of the racers who weren’t paying attention to the consequences of going fast. Hence, getting HP added to their combination.

It looks like that if you aren't willing to slow down and bracket race , you will certainly get HP at the end of the year.

Class Racing used to be like wearing a Banana Hammock and now it's more like wearing a Potato Sack.

Let it fly my brothers and deal with it.
