I feel there are many old cars which could go 1.10 or even 1.20 or more under but they would face punishment (HP/AHFS - ie. Larry's truck)

I think a good solution would be to allow all cars to run with no penalty no matter how fast they go - at meets where NHRA wants to show case the FS class.

What a Joke, why doesn't anyone protest the crap out of these cars instead of complaining on Classracer which does nothing. Rules should not be Subjective, what is the point of indexes..."Can't Fix Stupid"

A good idea Ron. Should have come up before. Just like National Opens. But would many of the older cars want to show how fast they can be?

National record.

That's 1.31 under..... just one example. Old 396 with iron heads. Not exactly beat to death as they would have you believe.

LT1's and LS1's really show their hand?

Good morning all - Waking up this AM was no treat as the temps dipped into the forties last evening and at this moment its a brisk 54 degrees .But all is not bad - the barometer is now 29.52 and climbing with 56 grains of water humidity is only 56% and that will burn off as the Sun rises .Throw in a little fog ........well you get it .

This morning we'll get started around 9am if everything goes well and Stock will test the 1320 first -one qualifier then Class elims .

The fog is burning off nicely and looks to be a great day for racing. The weather numbers are very good for this mornings run.

Jack, the start is 8:45 and we get 2 qualifiers and then go onto class, did they change the schedule?
