Class Schedule
 
Has a schedule been posted for Stock and Super Stock Class Eliminations for 2024?

I am assuming that it will be the same races as last year. I'm hoping that, at some point, we start seeing Class at Charlotte and Bristol again.

Re: Class Schedule
 
Class eliminations need to be held at divisionals
Nhra has no time in schedule or priority to race class at national events
This would give the ahfs a chance to work

Somehow, this just makes too much common sense.

Hmm thats the Dutch Classic, at the end of October.....could be epic......now if theres also contigency money on the line even better.

It is a touch sad though to take away the class eliminations from the fans that show up at the non-indy national events to watch, and listen to Alan and Brian describing the action, and also for the racers to not have the opportunity to get interviewed by Costello while they are icing down etc pulling out the tricks, and also do it on NHRA TV(thats a loss for the racer and TV viewer)

One of my fondest memories of class racing is at Charlotte 2011/2 when the Gaffneys having won super stock class towed out the morning of eliminations......they were beyond happy....And came to win class, thats it not run the eliminator....This part of the sport will be lost and thats sad.

Certainly makes one nostalgic for old days doesn't it!

Re: Class Schedule
 
so no more National Event Class except for Indy?
That is a travesty and to add insult the only class in D1 is an open?
To me this diminishes the value of the -1.00 under car., the $30,000 engine. What is the point? It's a bracket race all year basically if you are not factoring Indy into your schedule. SMH

Re: Class Schedule
 
So Nhra has pretty much eliminated class run off at National events
So why give **** about ahfs it’s only in effect if someone goes 130 under
Eric they haven’t run class THE Dutch in Like 4 years

The writing is in the wall
CLASS is a DEAD Issue
Blue nova available for stupid. $$$

James it's too bad the Mass hole didn't run his car hard before he changed motor combo's. That way you could have seen how the AHFS works first hand. With the currant AHFS besides Indy why even have class. Do you think a class Wally is worth getting HP? BP

Re: Class Schedule
 
Again, what's wrong with having Class, record runs at Opens?

Wish we had one less than 635 miles away.

Re: Class Schedule
 
Regardless of event format Class is Class…that and the possibility of heads up runs are a large part of why we do this and make a large commitment of time and money. I might not be toward the top of the sheet but have admiration for those that are.

Re: Class Schedule
 
This was posted by Steve Rhodes moments ago as everyone was talking what they thought this meant.

Ok, ok. Now let me give you ALL the correct and official information.

1. Class was removed from
National event to avoid the quota issue, this allows everyone to participate with no limitations.

2. Winners will receive a Wally, yes an NHRA Class Wally for their class win.

Any questions just reach out to us, this avoids all this incorrect information being spread around.

The Indy race is the ONLY national event that will hold class. So the Dutch will premier our stock/Super Stock classes.

I also asked if there would be contigency paid and he said Craig will be letting everyone know the details

I would like them to start class Sat am since we have all day to run on Friday, and a test and tune on Thursday. We have too many times where we get one round of class in and it all goes to S..t for one reason or another.

Glad we get to run class
But Mother Nature will have away in that it’s almost November by gosh
The cold temperatures and moisture will stop racing
Should draw a big crowd of fast cars weather permitting

We will see if they continue the trend of Friday and Saturday races since they loved the threat of rain on a Sunday have them the excuse to hurry up run the race and spend Sunday having a nice drive home!

Car count was small in sc sg ss like 25 or less per category
Management decision
