Prediction:

Indexes - .3

Trigger + .15 (1.00 under)

Automatic hit + .15 (1.25 under)

Sean Ward · 12-13-2009, 04:48 PM

wow

Tony Janes · 12-13-2009, 04:48 PM

Mark I agree with most of what you said except the trigger may be 1.10 rather than 1.00

X-TECH MAN · 12-13-2009, 05:12 PM

The trigger should be around .75 or .80 under to make the AHFS system be effective with these new Doges, Mustangs, and engines. The lower classes such as G, H, and I stock are going to take a beating from the Dodges. Nothing will change except the little guy will have more trouble making the field at Indy and places where they usually get more than 128 cars in the field. Its just going to cost more money to run with the big dogs. Nothing changes.

Nothing changes unless your combination is one of the 15 to get hit with hp.

Lets hope its just a rumor.

I think that Mark has the inside track.

Wow, This could be the first move by NHRA that would make the AHFS have better teeth. It would be much more fair for cars which have been in existance for years and factored multiple times which continue to try to compete with BOGUS,or PAPER cars NHRA continues to allow as well as the lack of appropriate starter HP for the new stuff.
Just imagine where the Mustangs would be today running their current numbers with this system.
If I am correct a car 1.45 under current Index would be 1.75 under. Imagine how much quicker they would be corrected if anyone else races them in class. Problem remains how often would they be PUSHED to run fast and get factored?
Better think about a higher Stock class or move the designations down so A would be lighter car than current AA and etc to keep same letters used .
