New Indexs are up

I believe that Stock FS/? is the same way. We ran D/SA last year on a 10.55 index and now the equivalent FS/? Class is FS/H and our index is the old D/S index of 10.50. They lump both auto and standard transmissions as long as the weight/hp is correct. So we lose again.

Surely they will correct this error...........

It hurts worse that a lot of combinations have a HP imbalance. One good example is the COPO 396. The auto is at 428 and the stick at 399! I wonder if they will address this? After all, wasn't this supposed to be a change to make things fairer?

GUMP, you think the COPO 396 is bad, try the Drag Pak 5.7.... in stock...auto 427 and manual 337.

Guys, I can feel your pain. It took 6 years for nhra to clean up the mess it made in Stock. Don't expect any quick fixes, unless some mega players get involved.

-=sigh=- One more time: In classes where sticks and automatics are combined, the automatics are given a 5% weight break, all with the exception of new Factory classes.

1) Should automatics get a weight break in classes where sticks and autos are combined? Yes or No

... a) If Yes, why does this rule not also apply to the new Factory classes?

... b) If No, why do all of the other stick/auto combined classes continue to have such a weight break?


I don't know if I can break it down any simpler. I find it absolutely stunning that no one can seem to even bother to attempt to answer this.

Mr. Beard,
I ask NHRA the exact same question two months ago and have not received a response!

Michael. With all due respect, you are a little slow. Pay attention!!! Nobody Cares. Nobody Cares. If somebody cares, they are outvoted. Complaining pays. Whining pays. Facts don't Pay. Ed complains. Ed goes .96 under. Somebody with his same combo goes 1.31 under. Ed complains about the new cars. Ed should complain about the other cars like his. Or work on his car. Or both. Rhyme and Reason (brothers I think) were out of town when these new classes were formulated. Maybe out of the country. Now, Michael, observe and analyze this information so you won't be troubled.
