If all racers (especially the -.70 to -.80 racers) used their heads, they would be the ones with the brake lights on. These racers have no chance of beating the -1.00/-1.20 players unless the fast guys get more HP.
So if these slower cars were smart, they would NOT go faster than -.85 and trigger the "mineshaft" variable.
It won't happen though... check out the qualifying sheet later and see how many don't even consider that they are only hurting their own cause.

Will the organization "Dedicated to Safety", send cars down a cold track?
Hope everyone stays safe.

Sounds like they are putting on a good show this morning. Sure wish we could see it on NHRA no Access

Indy required something like a .95 or better to qualify.

You were close, but it was .893 last year @ Indy and that was a no penalty for being 1.20 under race.

It took a .870 to get in at the 2015 event

NHRA live timing is working, check detailed runs and they have the 1/8 mile times.

Do the FX cars count towards mineshaft? After Q1 over half the field is -.850 under in stock.

Super Stock will be nowhere near that!!
