Factory Showdown Cars and Indy 2014

I think it's pretty simple:

If you are running with/as part of Stock Eliminator, AHFS applies. -1.219 under = Horsepower penalty. Period.

If you are in a shootout of your own, with no AHFS or other stuff, you are seperate from Stock and not part of the 128 car Indy field.

I like the factory cars and would probably have one if I could afford one. It would be a stick! I do think they should be in their own class. The new cars beat up on almost every A/SA and B/SA car that was running. Many are gone now. I suspect that will change when the new cars finally get where they belong.

By the way, it is 40 cold degrees here in Covington, La. Freezing my behind off! But we're in the garage working on the car trying to find more H.P. That much never changes. And it never will!

Good luck to all.

All great ideas!

IMO, AFHS needs to be in forced if your running stock.

It's only 7 degrees in Denver. COLD!

I brought the hemi home on Monday when it was a warm 28*, -14* on Friday night, snow and a warmer 8* this Sunday. Dyno (Mpls., Mn)

I understand why NHRA does not have AHFS apply to the class because they want flat out heads up racing. Which is reasonable who doesn't want to see that?

So how about they just say no AHFS for any cars at Indy? That way we can see everyone let them loose.

I do think they need their own class and should be showcased more.
