That would be the reason/way to kill off the older cars in a faster way😀

I don't think this is the case anymore. The U.S. Nationals qualifying sheet in Stock says different. A lot of "older cars" ran very good; well over 1 second under.

Remember that is the cream of the crop at Indy. Most don't run like that any where but at Indy. That's the reason that they take the AHFS off at Indy. Like I said in a previous post the classes and indexes should not be based on the elite of the class they should be based on the class average. This is sportsman not pro stock.

It doesn't matter how old or new your car is its how deep your wallet is. As a school teacher I race on a limited budget and if this change is made I'll be done with stock. I love to race but chasing stock eliminator has gotten way out of hand. Just my 2cents.

Lower all the indexes by 3 tenths, change to a 1 lb weight break to create more heads up runs. Give all carb combos 15hp back, the performance base has to return back or it will stay just mostly a bracket race.

There are a lot of you that need to quit drinking the kool aid, put your bong down and lay off the PBR's.

This is Class racing, if you don't want heads up get the F out. What the F are you thinking this is a performance base class.

Do the combos need to be even out YES
Changing the index only helps the fast guys and gals

To make this **** work, the Afhs

Put Indy back in the mix.

Get rid of mine shaft rule.

Quit publishing the Avg's

Change the triggers

Something needs to be done with combos with lots of cars, as posted above example the LS, look at 69 Camaro, i am sure there is more examples of these.

Sorry if I offended anybody. I foolishly assumed cars running less than .5 under were slowed down. I stupidly thought it would allow guys to pull that extra weight, etc, and just run them. I apologize.

Good.....I hope its true but 4 tenths would be better with all the crap you are allowed to do these days !

NHRA should provide a way that those Stock
Racers who love the challenge of having the fastest Class car can do so with out getting penaltized. Dropping 2-3 tenths from indexes does not solve the core issue.

Well I heard from Bill that Tom over heard a phone call that NHRA was going to change the index.
