Index Changes
 

I heard today that the indexes were not going to change, anyone else hear this?:confused:

Re: Index Changes
 

Heard the same thing last week. Who knows for sure? Jim

Re: Index Changes
 

I heard they were not going to change, because nobody could figure out why they should or who suggested it.

Re: Index Changes
 

Did not really see the rationale behind lowering them in the first place.

Re: Index Changes
 

They were considering lowering the SS indexes to keep the Stockers out of SS. Was this due to SS'ers crying about the Stockers?

Re: Index Changes
 

I think it would be great if dedicated Superstockers weren't bumped out of their own class by traveling pro's with their stockers because they are bumped out of their own class as a result of NHRA eliminating their own category for that particular event. More so if NHRA cuts to 64 car fields as a maximum for any / all events once the pro side of NHRA takes affect.

Re: Index Changes
 

Jeff how many traveling pros are there? That is a non issue. 64 car field, that is not going to happen either. If stock and super stock is going to get cut for a time basis, it will in the number of time trials.

Re: Index Changes
 

I think you are right about the 64 car fields.Thats not going to happen.32 might be more like it.

Re: Index Changes
 

NHRA will still need the filler

Re: Index Changes
 

The new filler is already in the experimental stages at Divisionals. T/S & T/D. Or if you race at the Pomona events it is called Super Pro & Pro, I believe.
But do not worry, soon you will only be at Sportsnationals.
Be thankful that they do not use lie detectors instead of Tech, the fields would then be down to 16, at -.40 under.
See, people complain, and NHRA has responded.

It looks like anywhere from 3-5%. Your right, it should be a non-issue. It should be so insignificant that NHRA makes absolutely no concession to such a small group. NHRA should, as a business or community of racers, should not yield one iotta to such a small faction and should make every effort to appease the majority. Isn't that the way it is?
And I sure hope your wrong about the number of qualifying runs! Because your talking about going down to 1 in some instances!

Re: Index Changes
 

There certainly is not a lack of potential filler.Top Sportsman,Top Dragster,Top Super Stock,Top Stock,Top Snowmobile,Top Motorhome.Top Pit Bike.The list could go on and on.

Jeff, Could you please enlighten the forum as to what concessions NHRA makes for the traveling pros?

Re: Index Changes
 

No. I said "isn't that the way it is?" Anybody disagree's with me, chime in for Mark.

Re: Index Changes
 

Secret testing of motorhomes?? That tells where they came up with the term "Super C"!

Re: Index Changes
 

Adger, apparently everything old is new again.

those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
