At the end of the day it really doesn't matter if AHFS is ON or OFF. The Indy experience is all but dead for the SS/STK.

Quotes down from 180 to 140.
INDY bump is no long a real thing. I mean not that long ago there were 50-60 guys that did not get to race per class. At one time it was a privilege and an accomplishment to get to qualify and run eliminations at the U.S. Nationals.

Class money down from $1200-$1000 for a class win now it might be $300 if there are still three sponsors.

Allstars race moving to INDY pushing class and eliminations to an after though.

combos running -1.20 plus under to will class with no penalty

lack of teardown or staff that knows what there looking at. I think there might be 4-5 NHRA staff that actually know how to check a stk or ss car.

Combo class eliminations. This just sucks I will never understand how or why two single need to run each other for a $135 trophy.

no class winner bump in

Not racing on (Labor Day) Monday

These are what has killed the U.S. Nationals for most of us.
Until these things change INDY will never get better for STK/SS. lets Talk about there real issues.
