NHRA/NMCA heads up vs bracket

[Pistol Pete]

Did anyone question NHRA' motive for running 8 cars at the Englishtown Nationals in
the 11.50 Heads up bracket ???

Will this be S/SS way for the future ????
No tear down for 1. No fuel check, No weight check.

1/2 second intervals, 1 second intervals.?????

Makes ya wonder what's in store in years to come.??

Enjoyed every second of it. Wish they ran 10.0 and the 8.50 Index class as well. Never thought of those index classes as replacements for S/SS but maybe for S/G and S/C. Probably never happen, but one could wish.

8.50 does have a minimum weight which is 2800 lbs but most of the cars are much heavier than that.
