Re: The mines are now closed (AHFS)
What if they stopped letting us lower the average after we hit our race quota? Only above .850 runs count after that....

Re: The mines are now closed (AHFS)
Call me ignorant but what is the "Race Quota" or is this going to be something new to keep track of?

Re: The mines are now closed (AHFS)
I believe the Quota mentioned is a reference to the points claimed quota best 5 of first 8 races count. Any races you go to after first 8 don't count towards your overall points standings

Re: The mines are now closed (AHFS)
That's what I thought Daren was talking about. Realistically, I don't see what one has to do with the other. A savvy Racer is going to go as slow as he comfortably can until he HAS to go fast. How about if your "personal class average" can only go up, not down?

Re: The mines are now closed (AHFS)
least two trigger runs of 1.00 or quicker before a review is conducted to prevent a "one time fast run" from triggering a review. Trigger runs are not required to be in the same class. Multiple trigger runs can be made by the same car at the same event

Re: The mines are now closed (AHFS)
The way I read the new rule is that all they did was remove mineshaft and automatic HP. Any run of 1.00 or faster WILL flag that combo, 2 flags will cause an automatic review and HP if avg is .85 or better.
So....as long as nobody makes 2 runs of 1.00 or better, the combo will not get reviewed. But....there is just enough wording to give them justification to add HP to ANY combo that has an avg of .85+. With that being said, I myself no longer have a dog in the fight and will not have one again. Not enough tech. I could put an engine in my car that "looked correct"(i.e 400 or 350 shortblock with too much cam instead of a 305) and run .70 under all year, play the sheet to avoid headsup runs, and win races. If you don't think this is being done in this class right now, please unfriend me lol. |

Re: The mines are now closed (AHFS)
That is the part I referred to a few days ago that appears to be in conflict with the new language that was added at the top of the page saying "all runs count...."

Re: The mines are now closed (AHFS)
The only differences are, no more mineshaft rule. No instant hit for 1.20 under. Everything else is the same. Every run counts except for national open races.
