but that was origianlly pitched as a 7lb class correct? 10.90 makes perfect sense at 7lbs, 7.5 not so much.

It was requested as either 7.0 OR 7.5, taking what we could get. We knew we might get the 7.5 break, but still wanted a 10.90 or 11.00 index, to give the cars room to RUN. Besides, at the time the 0.20 index drop was being considered. The idea was to let the cars take off excess weight, and go FAST, without the worry of getting hit with HP at every turn. Besides, it's not really that big a deal, unless you want to show your *** and run way under for a #1 qualifying position or something. Consider that with an index of 11.00, you can run a 9.61 without getting INSTANT HP. You can run a 9.86 and not even trigger a review.

As stated in my first post on this subject, I heard it was going to be 10.90 for both the auto and stick.

Chad I was just having some fun, I did not mean to come off as an A**Hole.

IHRA already has it @ 11.05 stick and 11.15 Auto
I'm sure NHRA will make it a little faster,, Like 11.00 and 11.10
