current NHRA CIC policy for opens

[rognelson777]

Tower getting indexes wrong happened in Comp at the dutch classic in 2011

In CIC racing it is 1st to finish line and you better take as little stripe as possible. Go to inside comp and see how they are beating up a racer for taking permanent hit for taking the stripe by 14ft.

Probably going to hang out at finish line to watch the smoke coming off the tires for these races,

In a race like the open, the object is save as much as possible until the final.
Maybe semis to get to the money round is not a bad idea either.
Also watch what other races have taken, so if all semifinalists have run 1.20 under index and you are clean, (not faster than .510 under original index) you get to go at it make sure you take the stripe.
