Hemi cars at Indy

How come none of the SS/AH cars qualified for Indy ?

I believe three did. The others wern't quick enough.

Because their index is too low just like AA/SA. The SS/AH should be 9.50 or 9.60 instead of 9.30. AA/SA should be 10.80 or 10.85 instead of 10.60.

I just checked the info on Drag Race Central and 5 SS/AH cars qualified and 3 made the call for 1st round. I could be wrong, but, I believe, many of the Hemi cars just go there for the shootout.

The index for the SS/AH cars need to be adjusted from 9.30 to 9.50 - 9.60. The SS/AA index is 9.70 and run on the same weight break as the hemi cars. When the fastest SS/AH car qualifies 106th, I believe that is a good sign that an adjustment is needed.

What good will a adjustment do ?

They will qualify .2 to.3 quicker which might allow them to qualify.

One thing it would do is make them more likely to get HP.
