It's just class racing with different rules and fewer classes. As pointed out there are some index classes for those who can;t compete heads up.
The only thing I don't like is the classes allow power adders, I would prefer having an all motor class, but that wouldn't keep me away. |

Sorry guys I had no idea they are heads up no break out. I thought they were like the .90 classes. Sounds cool.

The Index classes are different than NHRA's .90's as they do something that NHRA should have done along time ago. No delay boxes, throttle stops, or timers. |

No one on here has commented on NHRA Unleashed. Alot of conversation on other sites both good and bad. Mainly the heat. Seems they filled most of the classes. A very good article and photos on Competition Plus. They have all of the times for all of the cars in each round.
How is 25 or 30 cars in a 9.0, 10.0 or 11.0 index class not all heads up racing? The pro tree flashes and thats it. |

X-Tech, I know most here really don't care what happens. First of all you don't know me or my car. My car is a "legal" NHRA and IHRA class car which has been teched and pass in both bodies. I really like the idea; however, of being able to run my car where I want and when I want. If I elect to go run for a "Wally" at NHRA Unleashed in front of several thousand people versus running in front of one thousand or less and at a lot less entry fee, that is what I want to do.
I saw the tv coverage from Englishtown just like everyone else did. Did you look at how many spectators were there? Since some one earlier in this thread asked if someone would report how it turned out, will some one who is at Bristol this week-end take some photos of grand stands on both sides of the track? I will in turn take photos of the grand stands on October 1 at the race at Bristol and compare who really cares. |

I have a question (maybe a stupid question) .
With the index brackets Do you get to dial a number between the index and the next index up? Or is it 13.00 the only way you breakout is to go 12.9999?

As has been said the index classes can break out, yes they leave heads up but have to drive the finish line to keep from breaking out, just like running eliminator in stock or SS. From the people I have talked to, I think the car counts were decent for this time of year. I am sure that the heat is one reason why the spectator count was down. Night races would be a big help this time of year in the south. I think the only reason NHRA is involved with this deal is because of the popularity of the heads up classes the last few years, they feel like they can cash in. |
