Looks like the have the new indexes up on NHRA site. Lots of differences between old SS to the new car indexes. Tom

Re: New Indexs are up
Who "organized" that list? Good grief... Took the IT department two months just to add them in, and then it looks like they did so with a shotgun. Ugh.
I've been trying to get a simple answer out of them since November. They don't know, don't care, and my most important point & question they conveniently ignore repeatedly... didn't even bother with a "because I said so!" They even tried to tell me that they don't see where I've run a combination that's effected... I'm flabbergasted. Now that I think about it, I am now the owner of TWO cars whose indexes are not just .30 different between NHRA and IHRA, but .55 for one and .70 for another!

Re: New Indexs are up
For a little easier reading:
STOCK Class Weight Break Index FS/A 6-6.49 9.70 (old AAA/S; same index) FS/B 6.50-6.99 10.00 (old AA/S; same index) FS/C 7-7.49 10.30 (old BB/S, same) FS/D 7.50-7.99 10.60 (old CC/S; same) FS/E 8-8.49 10.95 (old A/S; same) FS/F 8.50-8.99 11.20 (old B/S; same) FS/G 9-9.49 11.35 (old C/S; same) FS/H 9.50-9.99 11.50 (old D/S; same) FS/I 10.00-10.49 11.65 (old E/S; same) FS/J 10.50-10.99 11.80 (old F/S; same) FS/K 11.00-11.49 11.90 (old G/S; same) FS/L 11.50 or more 12.00 (old H/S; same) SUPER STOCK Class Weight Break Index FSS/A 5-5.49 8.80 (old SS/AAA; same) FSS/B 5.5-5.99 9.20 (old SS/BB) FSS/C 6-6.49 9.65 (old SSA) FSS/D 6.5-6.99 9.90 (old SS/B) FSS/E 7-7.49 10.05 (old SS/C) FSS/F 7.5-7.99 10.20 (old SS/D) FSS/G 8-8.49 10.25 (old E) FSS/H 8.5-8.99 10.35 (old F) FSS/I 9-9.49 10.45 (old G) FSS/J 9.5-9.99 10.55 (old H) FSS/K 10-10.99 10.55 (old I) FSS/L 11-11.99 10.80 (old J) FSS/M 12 or more 11.00 (old K) SUPER STOCK GT Class Weight Break Index GT/FSA 8-8.49 10.00 (GT/A) GT/FSB 8.5-8.99 10.10 (B) GT/FSC 9-9.49 10.20 (C) GT/FSD 9.50-9.99 10.35 (D) GT/FSE 10-10.49 10.50 (E) GT/FSF 10.5-10.99 10.60 (F) GT/FSG 11-11.49 10.75 (G) GT/FSH 11.5-11.99 10.85 (H) GT/FSI 12-12.49 10.95 (I) GT/FSJ 12.5 or more 11.05 (J) New Classes all use the stick Index; sticks and autos are combined in the new Classes. The corresponding stick Indexes are the same, new class vs old.

Re: New Indexs are up
It appears the new car records set in the old classes have been left, could be a challenge in many cases.

I've been trying to get an answer as well Michael. Their response to me was "why are you not a fan of these new classes and indexes"? "They do not see the problem, please explain". For me it's the same as putting Jeff or Larry in the car with me every run. Now they are both upstanding racers but I really don't want to load them in the car every round, lol. Bottom line is we are being punished for running the new cars. Dennis Breeden |

The thing that has come to me off is that at least three officials now have explicitly avoided answering the simple question: "My index got hit .20, yet Stick cars are unaffected. Why do automatics get a weight break in all of the other Super Stock subcategories in which Stick and Automatics are combined, but not the Factory cars? I'm just trying to understand the logic." Quite honestly, I would even accept "Because we said so," but there has been ZERO attempt to neither rationalize nor even answer the question at all. Instead, I'm now being grilled about precisely what combination I'm running, despite that being entirely irrelevant to the question (and the fact that the classification has been specifically verified in tech at more than one event).

Re: New Indexs are up
I understand the trade off is the F cars run no AHFS. I think they will just hit the cars when they 'think' they deserve it.

Re: New Indexs are up
Just going to have to start testing more, and working on the new cars as hard as the old cars have been tested and worked on. They still have classes to run. Indexes they can run. Just lost their easy heads-ups, right?
