Andrew only 2008 and newer blower cars are in there own class in IHRA. Lower class cars fit regular FI classes.
I think it's a good idea have FI classes at the race, that way Greg and Andrew can have the fastest D and E cars at the race.

Thanks for the response Michael, I like that idea, and I'm sure many others do, too. I think a CIC shootout and some type of Supercar Showdown after class that evening would be really cool. I agree with putting all trucks and FI cars into NHRA classes, and I bet no one would object to Crate Motor and SS Production cars if the indexes were equal (IHRA indexes for all, not the .3 quicker ones used in NHRA).

How about all class winners get to play in the "Shoot Out". Sorry Jeff but above the Ohio River 'shoot' is spelled with a S, south the river both the C and the S may be used.

![]() ![]() Based on this year's Northern SportsNationals at Columbus, the Stock Quick 16 would look like this: (I left in their original qualifying positions, took into account having the new classes, old indexes, and not having Combo class) 1 8 3610 B/SA Leonard Mattingly, Cox Creek KY, '00 Fire 10.046 11.55 -1.504 2 2 8 A/FXA Bo Butner, Floyds Knobs IN, '12 Mustang 9.814 11.30 -1.486 3 1 24 R/SA Jim Marshall, Indian Land SC, '81 Corvette 12.886 14.35 -1.464 4 20 3578 C/SA Chris Mattingly, Shepherdsville KY, '01 F 10.253 11.70 -1.447 5 17 3540 I/FX Charles Downing, Britton MI, '10 Cobra Jet 11.061 12.50 -1.439 6 16 18 I/SA Steve Szupka, Willow Grove PA, '85 Camaro 11.254 12.60 -1.346 7 29 3340 G/SA Chuck Beach, Delaware OH, '68 Barracuda 10.959 12.30 -1.341 8 4 1707 CC/FXA Jim Boburka, Corapolis PA, '12 Camaro 9.571 10.90 -1.329 9 5 1574 AA/SA Frank Maiolo, Mt Vernon NY, '69 Camaro 8.974 10.30 -1.326 10 15 3608 K/S Bill Sempsrott, Franklin OH, '66 Nova 11.585 12.85 -1.265 11 12 353 A/S Caleb McFarland, Manchester OH, '01 Fireb 9.999 11.25 -1.251 12 31 1504 H/SA George Yago Jr., Jefferson Hills PA, '87 11.201 12.45 -1.249 13 13 3240 O/SA Bob Michael, Lebanon OH, '62 Grand Prix 12.202 13.45 -1.248 14 22 3360 N/SA Steve Sullivan, West Chester OH, '88 Must 12.058 13.30 -1.242 15 41 3040 J/SA Rob Holmes, Dayton OH, '77 Firebird 11.520 12.75 -1.230 16 18 3492 G/S Donnie Beeler, Elizabethtown KY, '91 Corv 10.981 12.20 -1.219 I think a 16-car field gives you a variety of cars, a guy qualified as low as 41st getting in the show (The USCN Quick 32 winning car I believe, it's worth noting!), a 4 round race so the CIC has a little bit of time to work, and some decent racing. I haven't looked at SS yet, but based on this, I'm thinking -1.25 under would make sense for the CIC trigger? Just my opinions. Keep those ideas coming, as talking through all the scenarios helps bring everything into focus, identify issues before they can occur, and figure out what's going to make the most sense.
