More races with no tech? This is better? Big deal it’s a 5 day race. If things don’t go well for someone, you literally can show up on Wednesday and be going home on Thursday morning. WTF? Why does the Allstars race have to be run at Indy? Who’s idea in the NHRA was this no tech to save time deal? The experience of racing Indy has been watered down. Basically it’s a glorified points race now. Pretty disappointing. But at least the parking situation is better.

But Todd they let you park on Monday. LOL So parking on Monday takes the place of the last race that actually had tear downs. And lets completely ignore the poll that overwhelmingly show's the racers that actually go to the race want it to be without AHFS. I'm sorry but for me they have Ruined Indy !!!!!!!!! Barry

What use to be the best car show in the 50 states isn't that important to the folks in charge and their fans anymore. Oh boy you get to park Monday. I'll be amazed if they get the quota of 300 of the best show quality stock and Superstock cars in the country to fill their fields. Maybe 200 Jr Dragster will make fans come back for more. Pay more for less is a great recipe. Half the sportsman racers will be done and gone by Thursday morning. How excited can you get for 12-13 top fuel racers.

The "Big Go" is going going and possible gone.

We can all just hope Rt. 66 comes back on line next year and the Jeg's All Star race is run there again. It looks to me like some teardown could be done on Wed. as cars are eliminated in class.
