Just and Idea for more heads up racing
 

How about we run all classes with the same index heads up.. that would give us more heads up races and more chances for the ahfs to really work. Im not talking about it being a comp but it would be nice for there to be more than 1 or 2 heads up races out of a 128 car field..

just my 2 cents worth

OK, how 'bout we don't. Jim

Re: Just and Idea for more heads up racing
 

I have not looked, are there that many classes that share the same index? If so I don't see a down side. What would it be?

What would it prove? That you were the king of the 12.15 index? Jim

It wouldn't prove anything other than you have a fast racecar..NOT A BRACKET CAR THAT FITS IN SUPER STOCK OR STOCK... It's appearent with the heads up racing booming right now that people want to see this.. it wouldn't be a huge change like some have suggested but it would give us more heads up racing.. for instance SS/DA ,SS/D , GT/C all run off 10.20.. It would be pretty neat to see a small block stick cobalt vs a big block camaro heads up..
I'm not talking about doing away with classes or combining classes. When they do run class (which is not very often any more) it would be the same way its been for years..But during eliminations if you run someone with the same index its heads up..

Oh well its an idea..

If you're inclined to do this just go run the Unleashed BS and be done with it...

bad idea

Re: Just and Idea for more heads up racing
 

I am inclined to race heads up when possible but hey I can do that .. Or I can run my SS/DM car when I want to in either comp or SS.. It wont be fast but I,ll have fun.. All I was saying is that it makes no sense to have all this money in a Super Stock race car or for that a 100,000 challenger in stock and race 3 times heads up all year..

My dad and I have been racing since 1988 or so mostly in Comp and SS but also in SG to PS . I love friday morning at indy its great !! Im not trying to tear apart SS or trying make it into a new class.

My thoughts were that the more heads up races the faster the hp corrections would take effect. The dp and cj cars can run in bracket mode and out run most guys right now in there class but this might give them a heads up race in eliminations.If they are late on someone we might actually see what one will run. With new models coming out each year they will never catch up on hp at this rate... Oh well I have to work now

Thanks
