AHFS at Indy?

[james schaechter]

I think the biggest problem with NHRA saying the data is good at Indy is that they don?t remember what ?full tech? used to be at Indy.

They don?t put eyes on any cars before the race like they used to.
Also, Indy has had a long tradition of robust and full teardown schedules, so the saying that going. Fast at Indy means you are fast had merit.

Point 3 of their clarification is pretty hollow if they do not put tech back in at the race. Probably the biggest heartburn is for racers that won?t go to Indy but may get hp as a result of runs made there. At least if tech and teardown was more like it was, it would legitimize any ahfs hits.

I don?t know why any -1.30 hit wouldn?t get a look before applying hp to all, but that has been happening.



I will say that NHRA gets plenty of complaints from people that say ahfs needs to work better so they are getting yelled at in both ears.

Heck some moron even sent threatening letters about a race team because they have dominated at Indy in terms of class and qualifying in recent years.

I would rather they clarified in the beginning of the year, but they didn?t say they would allow a hall pass every year.

As far as indexes go, I agree there are some really soft ones. Whenever anyone mentions dropping the index it is met with a lot of resistance from folks that will be impacted.
