Default Re: FS/XX - SS/AH In Comp ?

As I just finished posting about these classes, NHRA has announced that they can run Comp this season, wow what timing.

Think it's a big boost for the FS/XX owners, particularly those west of the Mississippi. Comp is the top of the pyramid in sportsman racing IMHO and while they are a "unique" bunch of characters their innovation, hard work and passion is amazing. Believe they will welcome the new classes, bigger fields is better for all of them. Will be tough against the 8.47 index but is worth a shot. The 8.75 index for Hemi cars will make that even tougher but again, worth a shot. Would assume the personal indexing for Comp would not apply when they compete in their 'other' eliminators.

I was all for it, but that index is not fair to start. So I don't think they are helping comp

Why not go all in. Slant the carbs and 5 speeds. 8.90 index would help.


Do we still run class in comp? or at USNATS?

From a fan's perspective, I don't want to have to sit through Comp to watch the SS/AH cars. On top of that, they give an index that will make them unable to compete - it's not like they don't know what these cars will run...as usual, I don't get what they are doing.

Default Re: FS/XX - SS/AH In Comp ?

This is great news as I have heard of potentially a few cars on the West Coast running the FS/SM class.

Maybe Bucky Hess or others can weigh in on this, as I haven't had a chance to look at the actual weight breaks / rules, but is the AS/SM the exact same rules as SS/AH? Index does seem a little hard if so....

Either way, I applaud NHRA as this may help some of the car counts and again shows the diversity of Comp - mixing some of the highly touted Hemi cars and the new FS cars, with the wide variety of everything else in Comp. Should be fun!
