Index Change Rumor - Page 3

Why doesn’t nhra just change the trigger without telling anyone? Where does it say they have to? Then when the first review comes out 70-80 combos get popped and things are more in line. Hate away 😡

It would mess up plenty of people. Most of the bottom half of the ladder could be seriously effected. Most all of the guys I hang with would just make the index in good weather.

I would no longer be able to run Superstock......Both my personal cars will
barely run .5 on a GOOD track and there is not the money in budget to pick them up another .3 or .4 tenths (Would take a new $20K plus engine for
either one). .5 off index and lose 1/3 of the field which is what we do not
NEED!

Class Racer.com. This site was created for Class Racing. Even NHRA is
promoting more class racing in 2020. That is what started drag racing in the
beginning. I've lost a number of heads-up runs in my time, but I've also won
a few. Nothing like WINNING!!!

Lower the Indexes, 2-3 , and no heads up at Divisonals, but then run class heads up at Divisonals. This would give both the fast guys and the slow cars modivation. No HP hits at Divisonals.........

First off, if you don't want heads up runs in your eliminator, go bracket racing!!!!

For those of you with "slow" combinations ( based on index), are you aware you can request horsepower to be taken off of your combo???

As far as this rumor goes, I keep in contact with my SRAC rep regularly and receive his email updates. I have heard nothing on this subject. So it seems to me its just a rumor.

Lowering indexes 2-3 would definitely upset my program. My best run all year in good air was .35 under..What were the great things that happened last time they took 3/10’s off?...and yes I do work on my car,but evidently,I must have done it wrong.......Victor Penrod

Bryan , I too, wonder where all these rumors come from.
Off-season boredom, I would guess.
So let me ask. If any of you have FIRST HAND info from someone at NHRA or from an SRAC rep., please share it with us ,right here.
Otherwise:

.5 lower would put me running a 8.70 to get in that's never going happen in my ole car.

Coming from a guy that has 2 cars in division 1 that will no longer run in the top 30. Why would you want no heads-up races at the divisional series ?
This is a performance based category. lets not try to turn this into a Full bracket class. Lowering the indexes again will do nothing but hurt the class. Yes the factoring system needs work.
