If they can't go fast and compete anymore?...Time to get out, retire and enjoy life. We can alway's build our old iron's new, problem is, we can't always keep up with the iron.

exactly why super stock is on borrowed time, not everyone is well healed enough to keep up, with this type of comment, maybe we all should quit,

I believe this is how the index system was started in the first place? due to the lack of racer participation

Rich Wallin, are you the same Rich that worked for Ford?

Either Bruce was wrong at Pomona or Drag Central is wrong, but looks like you still have to go .5 under to win class on a bye run. At least thats the listed results from Vegas. A few more Wallys saved.

Regrettably, DRC was wrong. According to the staff working Phoenix, the new standard is that you have to run at least as quick as your index to get a class win on a single.

Sorry for the confusion, but sometimes the communications break down and not everybody gets the word. We went and asked, and were told what I typed above.

Dialing your index is generally not conducive to going rounds. There is no room to play. If you can dial the index and win two rounds in a row, then I would say that you are pretty lucky to survive.

Correct me if I'm wrong but about 5-6 years ago Eric Pearson won Topeka in the AMC Spirit dialing the index.
Granted that probably won't happen again but he did do it.

Actually Ed,I think that was Bub Miller who won in Topeka. He drove that car before the late model Camaro and the Comp car. I`m sure it`s the same car that Eric drives now. You are correct though,it is possible to go rounds not running the index,just very unlikely to do it more that once.
