I think stock eliminator should be all treated in the same manner. To let the factory showdown cars qualify without the AHFS and the other 140 cars have to use it is two sets of standards for the same class. We should all race under the same rules at the same event. That being said, I am all for it either way and think it is a slap in the face to the non factory showdown cars. I was told back in April they were considering letting all of stock race without the AHFS in play at Indy as a test, but it looks like that's been squashed.

How about this idea. No AHFS, but ALL cars must meet weight minimum (or above) for class claimed and ALL cars must go through fuel check. This way all cars are technically legal, but can run them out the back door, no 1000 ft. dumps. If this is allowed you might see a 1.00 under cut for stock. No telling where no. 1 might be - 2.00 under.

I know this idea is pretty wild, but ????

I'm in at the least turn it off for class elms. I could give a crap about the et race sunday and monday break out the shoe polish.

Class alone would be cool. I can tell you are as big a fan of bracket racing and shoe polish as I. Think it's the gray hair? LOL

I agree!

Jeff Teuton · 08-13-2014, 09:27 PM

Numerous people have proposed this (including yours truly) before the new cars even existed and NHRA has not agreed yet. I support most on this thread and let the cars run. Just Indy was the usual request and that could add another dimension to Indy for Stock and Super Stock. I think we keep beating on them and maybe we will get it. There would be some pitfalls, but nothing is perfect. F/SA in the 9's? Who knows.

Class elimination runs should not count. If the Factory cars can run as fast as they can without AFIS, than all cars should run under the same rules. You know nhra monitors what being said on Class Racer. What do you have to loose NHRA?

Larry Hill · 08-14-2014, 02:24 PM

I think this could work: The factory showdown is a race within a race without any AHFS. If and when the factory showdown cars decide to run in the eliminator, then the qualifying time is part of the ''Q data'' and all runs made in eliminations is part of the ''E data''.

Adjustments if necessary will be by the rules of the AHFS.

The SS/AH cars have a separate race and yet their runs all count for AHFS.

That way all factory showdown can have fun at their race, and feel a little sting if they run the eliminator just like the rest of us mere mortals!
