Thumbs down FS cars exempt from HP?

I see they are flying at reading do they not get HP at any races? The top 10 qualifiers are FS cars? If that's the case the old cars will suck hind ***.

Pretty impressive how Barton would've been #2 qualifier in FS/A without a blower. Looks like there's a lot more depth in FS/B overall as well.

But yes, sad that the old cars who ran hard this morning took -1.0 strikes just to qualify outside of the Top 10 and watch the FS cars run with impunity.

Its the old race within a race trick. For most of us the trick is getting very old very fast. Now every bye will be taken by a FS car without any application of the AHFS rules, that way the FS cars can do the same thing again in Vegas in a couple of weeks.

If the old cars dropped two or three classes (10% off), they would rule the roost. Let's get stirred up again. Good for your circulation. Or you can call 1-800-Larry Hill and get the methodology for getting your 10%. Larry is a pro. How come Larry can get 10% off 38 combinations and nobody else can?

This statement has nothing to do with the fact that FS cars qualify on the same sheet, but do not get hit with HP. Old car/New cars, who cares, as long as index rules applies to all cars qualifying.

At first glance it does look like a race within a race. But the FS Class is not a stand alone event like most race within a race events because it still shares the same ladder with Stockers, without the same consequences.

Word is out that the new cars (2008 and up) will be in their own classes next year. It remains to be seen if nhra will do anything to correct the indexes or possibly put the FS cars in their own eliminator.
