Isn't that what every racer in Stock and Super Stock wants??? A place to play without worry of horsepower?? That's why racers love the National Opens.

What's not fair about it? NHRA has an AA class and an A class. Pick one and race in it. If you think AA index is too stiff, don't put AA on the window.

No Mike, many of us don't know it as you can tell from this thread. Fact of the matter is I'd like to 2 tenths dropped off the indexes in every other class so that we can run without worry of HP just like the luxury you are afforded in AA!

Imagine that....Finally a class you can run 100% wide open ALL THE TIME and you of all people want to change it.
