SS Indy withdrawls permitted!

Indy does not count towards the class points! It pays class contingency money! No points!

Having a slow car,I really don't follow all of the rules,but thanks for pointing that out.

I NEVER would have guessed that the most prestigious race would not count for points.If anything,I would have thought it would have been double points.

Surprises me too, went back and looked at how points are earned just to make sure I didn't miss anything since I may jump into more of the class competition next year (see link below)....in any case hats off to NHRA for giving the SS racers a chance to pursue divisional points this weekend. It will be interesting to see how many show up at Indy, suspect it will still be close to a full field...

Does this include all Superstock entries or just the top 128? I would think it is for all. Thanks, Dyno. #161 qualifier but we still had fun.

Dyno, as of Sunday morning & again on Monday, ALL alternates were in. We double checked with Red at pit control, and again in staging before they sent us back. He assured us that due to breakage and racers leaving, that all were in.

Now....can they return, and bump alternates back out? Have no idea. Ron & I left pits about 9AM before they called race, and headed for Earlville. We are not going back to Indy.

My guess, with weather report and two divisionals, they won't have 128. Just guessing

If you pull out what happens to your AHFS runs? Do they go away? If you "were not there" and you get your entry back, how can they count them?

Dan Fletcher · 09-04-2012, 04:47 PM

Rain out/re-scheduled type race when no elimination rounds have been run are "all run, random pairing". If 150 cars come back, they all run and it's an eight round race. That said, I don't think there will be 100 total. At this point, I'm not planning on going, especially with being able to re-coup the entry money.

Hope they don't count them.
