I think Indy still has the “hall pass” rule in effect, so no HP hits. Last big hit was Larry Hill with the Big Red Truck a few years ago.

The current system is all we have but leaves a lot to be desired.
Look at it this way. Every year we get more go-fast goodies.NHRA can't seem to leave their hands off Stock.
Cars go faster every year, but the indexes stay the same for decades.
Everyone here knows the AHFS is being manipulated.

Back to Indy:
They let in 160 cars, so it takes almost a second under to get in, which is an AHFS trigger. 1.20 under is an instant hit...So, you would have 128 or more, trying to qualify or win class at the biggest race of the year, yet trying to work the system at the same time , inside a two tenths window.

I agree with NHRA on this one, (which may sound strange to some of you).
I believe it's a great idea to suspend the charade and the joke for Indy
