Who Gets The Bye ?

Nitro Joe Jackson · 08-18-2009, 08:09 PM

Guys out at Indy, the night before class eliminations I would be more then happy to do ladders, please come down and see me at the lounge.
I have a printer and everything needed to do it.

I don't and won't have a dog in this fight,but the next question will be: SPORTSMAN LADDER or PRO LADDER?

Sounds great Joe.....but for instance...SS/DA has 3 cars...If we happen to be the quickest we should get the bye in the 1st round of class....With the fact that I'm not really sure how many fast runs you have to make to get HP....its a big deal....2 at the same event?....2 at 2 events??? How does it work...for sure....

Maybe Travis or Bruce can answer this one....

a $35000 motor may not be enough to win class at Indy..

Stay below 1.15 and I think you'll be alright there Rock

Shouldn't the fastest car win class? Barring an agreement to race to 1000 ft. how else are you going to be the fastest and still not run the 1.15 under or more? Of course this doesn't apply to all classes. Seems like alot of confusion on exactly how the AHFS works, I've seen explanations in print but I think you have to be a Lawyer to understand it. For me at least maybe a laymens explanation. Almost looks like the Comp deal where you may have to sacrifice some to get the win, question is who wants it the most? Joe

If you can run 1.3 or 1.4 under at Indy in the usual conditions they get there. You can handle some HP... or index.
