Coming from a ProStock background, no AHFS at Indy made sense to me, Its our most prestigious race of the year. Bust your butt, work hard, bring the best that you have, hit the tree and let it eat, may the best man win.

I hope they look at again and reconsider.
If Class Eliminator is no AHFS, how about making Stock Eliminator at Indy no AHFS as well? That would be exciting!

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 currently have the worst combination in the world and it pisses me off but it?s also a fun challenge to make it the best it can be. I?m not lifting or saving anything if we are lucky we have maybe 5-6 more years of NHRA.. I?m going to enjoy and hate it while I can.
You?ll have that attitude and mentality until you get a fast combo and want to protect your investment. If you go out and get some hp for no reason other than to show everyone how fast you are, you will kick yourself in the *** a few weeks later when you lose a heads up by a hundredth or so.

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.

Raise your hand.
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.

How was this decision made?

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.

Yes, and also Junior Dragturds in an adult show have no buisness being there too.
