Lynn McCarty ideas are very sound and makes a lot of sense . Hire Lynn To get the NEW AHFS Headed in the right directions is the way to go >>

[JD Smith]

Here is a simple fix.......

1) Lower the index -.50 in all S/SS
2) Leave the AHFS triggers as is

I didn't know this was a women's group. I would have joined along time ago!

Two things lowering the indexes & not dropping the trigger would do;

1) Get rid of the guys/gals who can only currently run 4/10's under or slower! (Shame on them anyway according to some)!
2) Let NHRA see just who was sandbagging in those fast cars as they are going to be running that much quicker. It will be then be clear to them who needs to be re-factored. More cars then should fall off the backside as slower cars of that combination are again stung deleting even more of the competition. Just what class racing needs,less racers.


My simple answer is the opposite of JD Smith;

1)Leave the indexes where they are.
2) Lower the trigger .35 , then factor those fast combos accordingly.

3) Allow cars to be only so heavy for the class that it is running in at the time. Same consequences as too light,run doesn't count.

Here is another simple fix.............

1) Run em' all off the index
2) Get rid of the AHFS completely

3) tear down the top 5 qualifiers at every race plus winner and runner up (violations are 1 year off no exceptions)

will have the same effect....

Now somebody is finally making sense! But..........the problem is everyone had the opportunity to race this way in the NSCA a couple of years and none of these crybabies showed up because they cried that the same people would win because they were faster!!! You just can't come up with a solution that would make everyone happy!!!

Sounds like that would work.

Tried years ago...miserable failure.

A few thoughts,
Keith,
After my 30 minute break i decided we were still to pig headed to change. Sorry!!!

Again we point fingers and scream at each other but the problem is the system and it's administration. Some run all out, others dive at 1,000. Horsepower is given and we taunt each other not where the real problem lies. We got hit for a run where we were outrun by a tenth. That car did not get hit. System problem or driver problem? 340 in a 72 duster 289 in a 72 cuda 299 because somebody chose to run all out. I will only comment on our cars but there are many examples to use. We have been beating this horse since it started. take the 2 tenths back off the index and it's a mute point for us. If you can't run the index then go bracket race. 1/2 the guys that are .3 to .4 tenths under are bagging anyway. Those same cars go 1. sec under in a heads up situation.

Hey Scott.... There is still hope for you and Chad,,,,It took me 4 times going to the corner to stop doing it...LOL

Hell...I might do it again.... I'm just kidding Jim, Cal, Doug, Andy, ect..
