I seem to recall that back in the 70's, the Mopar factory guys did something like that. They had a sperate race at another track to predetermine who would win class so they wouldn't get dinged when they ran class at Indy.

I still stand by what I said when I was at Indy last, 2 years ago:
I wish there was a good solution to the AHFS problem because I understand the arguments against turning it off. But there's something to be said when Indy consists of 300 of the baddest S/SS cars in the country - and every one of them has the loud pedal welded to the floor. To play devil's advocate, isn't it even more boring when every race is a battle to see who can get closest to -0.999 under the index? |

This time of year, is always fun reading about S/SS indexes and AHFS. How to fix it? what is right, etc. AHFS was made to create a level playing field, which cannot be achieved when most engines are not even legal. Before you start with the BS "I am legal, I just work harder" My cars run -.50 to-.70 under. I know what it takes to go -1.00, I choose not to spend the $. My choice, no complaints.
Complaining sounds ridiculous.

Is this what it's become? Has The AfHS seized control of Class Racing's soul?

Just maybe NHRA is trying to level out the field , the soul has been out of control for years now with those that are willing to spend endless amounts of money to push the rules way beyond the legal limits . I guess it's what one thinks about how seizing control of class racing ,will it help class racing to continue or die because of cost

Well, I guess that's one way to cut down on the " no chillers in the staging lanes " problem.
