I understand why NHRA does not have AHFS apply to the class because they want flat out heads up racing. Which is reasonable who doesn't want to see that?

So how about they just say no AHFS for any cars at Indy? That way we can see everyone let them loose.

I do think they need their own class and should be showcased more.

f@#$kn clueless!!!

Why not just give the factory shootout classes a fair index? Make it where Barton will go 1.10 under instead of 1.40 or whatever

Andrew, see # 15. We actually agree. Scary!

Love the factory cars and feel they have generated a lot of interest in the sport....

Re: Factory Showdown Cars and Indy 2014
 

Agree!

How about that? I guess there's a first time for everything! I may be driving a new Challenger before long, too. It may be a V-6 street car, but I'm inching over to the dark side!

Edit: I looked at the Indy qualifying sheet, and a 10.20 index in FS/AC would have put 6 of the 11 cars in that class out of the eliminator. 4 of them would have been less than 0.60 under, and Barton would have dropped to 1.12 under.

I'm afraid the interest factor is pretty much flat nowadays...been on a downhill slide for years. Can't see $150K factory cars doing much for the majority of us. Just us diehards still plugging away and our numbers are dwindling as time passes...so sad.

How about just giving them legit hp ratings?
