As of now I have 10 competitors who have committed with another half dozen or so who are undecided do to various reasons. We have great sponsors on board and looking forward to a very competitive field. Everyone I have spoken to, who will be involved, has been very supportive and excited.

Larry, there is only but a few EFI/Paper car combos in the entire guide that could fit into AA/S. Also, to my knowledge, none of the few combinations have yet to be ran in stock eliminator with a stick. No car has ran AA/S at the US Nationals since its addition to the class category guide. Should an individual now, all of the sudden, wish to run AA/S with one of these rare combinations, it would obviously be to MF the shootout; however, should this arise, its ok...they should just make sure they bring lots of tools and gaskets.

Well, it looks like I need to cancel my order for my new G-Force transmission. I have a car that is not a paper car but is EFI. Good luck to everyone involved.

Question being that it’s an Nhra event
Who makes the call on teardown?
Seems like it’s implied that this is gonna happen

This is sick! Hope it gets lots of support at indy!

Wouldn’t an easier solution be to pay a bounty to the highest placing car you want to win? If you want to seclude a model or combo put the money towards the highest player without that combo. This would still promote A/S event without putting a burden on NHRA. I have no skin in the game but from the attendance of the big $$. Stock events. Not everyone cares about the $$. This idea of big $$ at the most prestigious event in the country is a win win for our sport. Thank you for what you are doing to generate excitement in what we do. Everyone has an opinion and likes to complain. It’s good to see someone put the time in energy into improving it.

I am no expert on Indy by any means but it appears getting power to the ground is usually the deciding factor. I feel the AA/S will definitely create an opportunity for others to qualify for the field that would otherwise not have the opportunity. So that’s a win for us slower cars I guess..

To all competitors, we are 6 weeks away from the shootout. I know that Indy filled up at 6 Grade points, but please keep an eye on the entry list to see if people drop out. We will also be asking NHRA to bump up the quota once it reaches zero grades if there are other classes with low entry numbers. Stay positive, we would like to get everyone who wants to participate to come. Tnx

[SS/GSI]

Three weeks away...time for Roll Call. Please contact me with vehicle information if you are participating. I would like to have everyone's weight and contestant stickers prepared and given to you on the Tuesday before we run. Please call or text 613.229.9582. Tnx
