Default Re: Class pushed back at Indy Nats for Jegs Brackets?

I have voiced my opinion with NHRA about the JEGS allstars being at Indy. I personally am not a fan. Indy is such a special event in its own right that it seems that the allstars loses some of its luster. When the event has been held at Chicago in the past, "ALLSTAR SATURDAY" was a real thing. Everyone at the facility knew exactly what a moment that day was. At Indy, the event loses its magnitude due to Indy being Indy.

That being said....JEGS is based in D3 land, therefore it would make sense that the event be held in D3 land. That leaves 3 options: Norwalk (JEGS event at Summit Equipment Raceway, not happening), St.Louis or Indy. Pretty easy decision to why it has ended up at Indy.

We should also keep in mind that the Allstars has only been held in Indy the last 2 years (2020 - 2021) during very compromised schedules at Indy. I am hopeful that extending the schedule back to Wednesday through Monday that Indy can feel more like Indy.

I am hopeful that the Indy schedule (20 lbs of S*** in a 10 lb bag) can end up something like this:
Wednesday - Qualifying
Thursday - Stock Class
Friday - Super Stock Class, Stock Tear down
Saturday - Allstars, SS Tear down

Thats an ideal schedule, but we all know that would always be "subject to change".
