Indexes for New Classes

[boster]

Does anyone know what the indexes will be for the new classes ? I see that Nhra updated indexes on 10/22 but forgot to had any info on the new classes created . I'm happy about the new classes but would like all the details . Any info helps

I'm hoping there will be more heads up runs now with my Stick car. I'm happy about the separation myself also.

Impatiently awaiting the index....

OK. we're all waiting for the index's, so how about some suggestions/ predictions?
I'm more interested in the guy's that have the cars that will share a comment!
What criteria do ya think NHRA is going to use?

Seeing we're just speculating here..I say the criteria is politics.
0 to .010 at the most.

I would like to see the indexes for all the new classes at a real number. To me a real number is; it would take a very good run at a fast track, Gainesville, Bell Rose, Englishtown, by a very good car to go -1.05 to -1.10 under. Runs buy the cars not so good will be in the -.85 to -95 range just maybe good enough to qualify at Indy. An added plus to a real index is less chance of someone with a same car going minus 1.20 under the index and having the AHFS response on Tuesday.

What ever the indexes are the AHFS must apply to all cars in the eliminator.

just my thoughts, I could be wrong!

Remember how much they hit the Fuel Injected class indexes when those were created?

Under that logic would you also be OK with a penalty for all of the cars that ran fast at a National Open or during class eliminations this year (regardless of year model)?

I don't see much issue with this as long as the index for any factory shootout is corrected to allow good heads-up racing without fear of penalty.

I think AHFS should apply to all at every race . I believe the indexes will be in line with what the fastest cars in each of the new classes has ran .

Big question is why did NHRA not post them when the knew they were making new classes . Next question is what will the HP ratings be on these new FS cars . A 5.4L blown 2008 mustang in stock FS/A makes no where close to a 2014 coyote 5.0 with a 2.9 blower and runs 8.50 in FS/A

I think Don Fezell may disagree with that.

I think you have no idea what you are talking about as usual. Don has the fastest 2008 CJ out there no doubt about but you're a moron if you think he's anywhere close to a 2013-2014 Coyote.
