AHFS @ Indy 2024

Has anyone been successful in getting an elephant to move quickly in 60'?
Asking for a friend.

I hear if you put a mouse behind it...

I was the 3rd alternate last year and also the first car in the staging lanes that morning. It was kind of a mess but I stayed very close to the nhra people so I wouldn?t get passed over. The nhra people kept trying to get info from the tower but weren?t having much luck. Randi Lyn sort of took charge and got the first three alternates lined up.
I really appreciated that they allowed alternates to run even though I managed to red light first round.

Glad to see this but I just wish this was the rule for all class run offs. Class run offs have no bearing on points. Put the fun back into class racing.

At a minimum, give us a Non-AHFS race out west

Sante, All seven SRAC reps proposed this in meeting, having a non AHFS CLASS race like Indy on each coast. Gainesville,Indy,Las Vegas. I would love to see this happen!!!

I vote for this as well. Not everyone can get to Indy.

I will try it. Thank you

Bob good idea but I would add a twist. C1 is a Q run so it needs to go in the average with all of the rewards and benefits afforded by the AHFS. After C1, Class is a race within a race, like the All Stars, the runs should not count for AHFS after C1. Only Q runs and E runs during eliminations should count. A heads up in elimination will count for AHFS, but not C2 and beyond in the race within a race.

With sportsman matching for C1 it could be some interesting wheel racing tip toeing to the finish line.
