Re: 2015 Rules
Damn now I have to cut new vinyl for both cars and try and figure out where they fit again....Glad I have all winter. Very glad to see new classes for the new cars, that should make the Pre 2008 car owners happy.
However....where are the indexes listed? If they are soft, and all the new cars are 1.0+ under there will be all the same amount of of crying going on. If they are tough then you will have an ever increasingly number of new car owners crying. Does this mean that all the FS cars in stock run heads up and off their indexes like the "factory shootout" now? Does my 2009, 6.1 Hemi that could "only" go .839 under and not make the show at Indy this year have a chance to qualify? So far this is just a list with a bunch of letters. |

Re: 2015 Rules
Chuck,
Hopefully they will have to live and die by the same sword as everyone else with AHFS. Then it will take care of itself, not quickly though. Not that this affects S/SS, Pro stock bike and car are Sunoco only on fuel now. The aluminum radiator has been needed for some time, even the 80's cars and finding a good core has become expensive. I can't imagine what you guys with the older cars spend on one. Sean

Re: 2015 Rules
Still don't get why you would create separate GT classes for post 2008 combos without lowering the weight break. Your still eliminating a lot of the combos that people could potentially run.

Re: 2015 Rules
Exactly. I don't see a reason to celebrate. I think that it's a cheap shot by NHRA.

Re: 2015 Rules
Great to see the old and new separation to help because of the inability to adequately factor but once again more and more separation of cars into smaller and smaller classes. I know its all a dial in on points meets etc but .....At least that part of the problems is solved...
