Mark, you should know better than that. Keep it LEGAL and it won't be easy.

Exactly what they want Mike. Then they will turn around and say there aren't enough racers to support Stock and Super Stock and drop them. Stop me if you have raced IHRA and have heard this story before. JIm

Then make the triggers around 8 and 6 tenths !

That would be the reason/way to kill off the older cars in a faster way😀

I don't think this is the case anymore. The U.S. Nationals qualifying sheet in Stock says different. A lot of "older cars" ran very good; well over 1 second under.

Remember that is the cream of the crop at Indy. Most don't run like that any where but at Indy. That's the reason that they take the AHFS off at Indy. Like I said in a previous post the classes and indexes should not be based on the elite of the class they should be based on the class average. This is sportsman not pro stock.

Typical end of year discussions by nhra staff from what I have heard. Nothing has changed, yet. In the past, most changes for the following race season were made by the time the SEMA Show rolls around.
