Re: Has anyone changed their mind about AA/SA index?
 

My car is a natural B car, so I cannot make AA. However on a number of occasions I have considered switching to the L88 combo which would put me in AA. I don't want to do that because of 2 things 1. the index is too fast and I occasionally go to Indy and also care about how I qualify. 2. I wish there was a class faster than AA, I don't like running a car any heavier than need be so I wouldn't wish to run the current AA weight brake.

To answer the original question, I would want the index to be moved slower 1-3 tenths.

In a preview of Indy, at the Jegs Sportsnationals, with a qualified 128 car field, I was just wondering how the large contengent of AA/ stockers made out ?

127 2020 AA/SA Brenda Grubbs, Magnolia TX, '69 Camaro 10.260 10.60 -0.340

Looks like only 1 AA car showed up. 127th.

When the sole AA car there is outrun by B/SA cars you can't really put much into the debate..
What I found interesting is that considering Larry was going 9.89/9.90 in A had he not lifted he would have been a low 9.70s in AA based on the math earlier discussed in this thread. That would have put him around the #50 qualifier.

No way we could get the car that light. Our best chance to get "that" light would have Allison Smyth run the car by remote control.

Larry, Remember that Allison have a masters in electrical engineering.
She'll take the challenge and make that work, so be careful what you ask for. LOL

How about this. Dodge Hellcat. 4400 lbs, AA/SA What do you think Jimbo?

Re: Has anyone changed their mind about AA/SA index?
 

4400lbs, that'll be easy on parts. Can the Dana 80 rear end from the one ton trucks be used?

You know the AA index is wrong when so many cars add weight and run A instead.

My father-in-law has one, I wonder if I can talk him into letting me turn it into a stocker? Hmmmm.....

Re: Has anyone changed their mind about AA/SA index?
 

Mr. Jeff : Thanks for bringing up one of my previous points. It's only a matter of time before one or more of the new "street car" combos will fit into AA/S... As nice as it is to have an "ALL OUT paper car class", AHFS, with the current index, will be slow to adjust these under factored new car combos. The current self serving, no index change advocates will be crying the blues when their combo - like mine - is made obsolete overnight, for about 5 years or until the HP adjustments are brought in line. Some of us old farts will be dead by then. I guess we can be buried with our old muscle cars and our egos.
