At least this year it is a 5 day event; not 4 days like last year. Also, Class Eliminations are scheduled for Wednesday; not like last year when the 2 quickest ETs from Q1 raced for the Class Trophy in Q2. All of us would like to see Indy go back to a 6 day event; only time will tell.

Amen Bill ……I find it odd that Superstock will run a couple rounds of eliminations and then followed by the HEMI shootout ….

The way I read it is stock and ss get one time run and the two fastest cars run class in q2 like last year. If this is the case they have completely ruined Indy and what it means for stock and ss. Round one Thur morning for a 5 day race what a joke!

It says one session class elimination. That’s what it was last year

If that it is what it is, someone who is the decision maker, ruined what was Class at the US Indy Nationals.

This is how mis-information gets spread. I have talked to multiple NHRA sources.

Indy will be 1 Qualifier and then traditional class eliminations on Wednesday for both Stock and Super Stock. Yes, both classes will run class eliminations on the same day. So that is different than Indy of years past, but certainly better than last years version. In addition, Indy now has the Allstars to stuff into the schedule so lots of things get shifted around, including the Allstars banquet. That will be Wednesday night as well and NHRA is fully aware of class eliminations may run into this banquet time.

In addition, if we want to jump to conclusions, it looks like tear down may be eliminated. It appears to not be any time for tear down, unless they want to do a pre-tear down on Tuesday.

However, no one seemed to notice the fact that they brought back the Monday Parking Day? OF ALL THE COMPLAINING ON THIS SITE THE LAST TWO INDY YEARS ABOUT PARKING, NO ONE WANTS TO MENTION THIS FACT.

You know what is ruining racing...forums and social media. Pick up a phone and call someone to get answers or offer suggestions. Those people at NHRA are not against the racer. I am as critical as anyone against the NHRA and there are certainly improvements to be made on a constant basis. I am on the SRAC for the Super Classes and in general I am in contact with NHRA reps every week discussing different ideas about all things racing related.
