I don’t understand how anyone can think that it is fair to have two sets of rules for cars running the same eliminator. One has to worry about getting HP if they try and qualify at the top. The others can just do what they wish and fill all the top spots. At Most races they aren’t bumping people from the field. But it is not right.
NHRA has a couple eliminators with different rules to even things out. Different size engines for Harlely’s and the other bikes but it is done to bring them inline performance wise. What they are doing with the FS class is the complete opposite. If they aren’t going to hit them with horse power then at least give them an index that brings them down to the rest of the field. A great run in FS should result in a -1.10 or so run. Adjust the index to that point.
