Default Re: NHRA unleashed or is it unlashed

As an example, the same applies to all the heads up index classes. If you are in the 13 second class, you race only other cars in the 13 second class. There is no eliminator against other classes. First to the finish line without going quicker than 13 second is the winner because a breakout is in effect. If both cars go quicker than 13 seconds, the least under is the winner. Deep staging is allowed. 5/10ths Pro tree in 11,12,and 13 second. 4/10th in the others.

I teched at the Indy Unleashed. The rules are on NHRA.com. in the Unleashed section. The series is still new but is similar to other heads up groups that have been around for awhile. There were several Stockers running the 11 and 12 second classes. Lots of S/G and S/ST cars were in the 9.00, 9.50, and 10.00 second index classes. Pretty much anything goes in the index classes. They mainly have to meet NHRA safety rules for the ET they are running.

Pro Mod, Outlaw 10.5, Limited Street, and EZ Street do have class rules that are explained on NHRA.com. For those who have never seen these faster heads up classes, they are impressive. Lots of nitrous, turbochargers and superchargers. Although the crowd was not huge, they did seem to enjoy the race.

So for all you people that for years have pushed for a heads up agenda, looks like you now get your wish as there is no handicapped shoe polish racing here.
