Indy will be 1 Qualifier and then traditional class eliminations on Wednesday for both Stock and Super Stock. Yes, both classes will run class eliminations on the same day. So that is different than Indy of years past, but certainly better than last years version. In addition, Indy now has the Allstars to stuff into the schedule so lots of things get shifted around, including the Allstars banquet. That will be Wednesday night as well and NHRA is fully aware of class eliminations may run into this banquet time.

In addition, if we want to jump to conclusions, it looks like tear down may be eliminated. It appears to not be any time for tear down, unless they want to do a pre-tear down on Tuesday.

However, no one seemed to notice the fact that they brought back the Monday Parking Day? OF ALL THE COMPLAINING ON THIS SITE THE LAST TWO INDY YEARS ABOUT PARKING, NO ONE WANTS TO MENTION THIS FACT.

You know what is ruining racing...forums and social media. Pick up a phone and call someone to get answers or offer suggestions. Those people at NHRA are not against the racer. I am as critical as anyone against the NHRA and there are certainly improvements to be made on a constant basis. I am on the SRAC for the Super Classes and in general I am in contact with NHRA reps every week discussing different ideas about all things racing related.

Do the all star racers still get torn down? I think they did that in advance and I do believe some bogosity was found at times. Maybe they should consider some pre race teardown

Any names for the NHRA reps you talk with on these issues? I think the train wreck that is the executive level is the issue. The customer facing NHRA members love racing and racers. The execs love….their paychecks.

I have attended the Big Go as a spectator every even year since 1982 , always looked forward to going , even attended the COVID race last year was so dissappointed shortened 2 days , no class runoffs, which is why i attend for stk, s/s , ! We were assured by NHRA that the things we were used to would return for this year . guess not . May just attend DIV. RACES and opens from here on out . Nhra has lost sight of why true fans go !

nhra took drag racing hostage a long time ago.
