Index Change

The only people this really will hurt are the guys who could run -.30 or less! They have just relegated about 20% of the cars to being bracket racers! There will be less and less cars at Divisionals and National Events. Some people can't see what is happening. Jim

The only ones who'll be effected are those who are .3 under now,which I doubt is 20%.
I think there are very few combos that aren't able to go .3 under now.If so, then a h.p.
reduction request would be warranted and I would think be granted.
The big $$$$ guys will still have the biggest d$%ks in the arena,just like before.
Now that that's been done how about getting them to let the div. tech guys do their jobs
without outside interference.Maybe some semblance of fairness can be made of the
AHFS.

what a coincidence just as these new BS rated combos appear the indexes get whacked .3. Have fun with your previous indy class winner run of 1.19 under, now youre .89 under and one of these new BS combos will womp you in the ligths twice go .99 under and laugh in youre face.

I think you are right Ed O', NHRA just increased the IHRA's car count! Jim

Thats great for the guys that live where IHRA runs what about the west coast guy's.

well now N/SA is a 13.00 index....so do N cars now need to have a roll bar? I mean if they run a second under their in the 11's & would need one right?

Looks like a couple more spaces just opened up for T/S and T/D cars.

All sorts of rules will have to be adjusted! I wonder if they thought of this? Jim

No ,it's 11.49 for those sophisticated , highly tuned bracket cars. 13.15 for those junky ,unsafe Stockers.
Don't give them any more ideas, okay?

I may be one of those people who can't run the number. My car has not seen the track for nearly seventeen years and I have no idea where it will be this spring. Should it be the case that I can not run the number within my budget the car will be sold. I will never go bracket racing nor will I put it back on the street.
