Some of us old codgers build our own stuff. Not everybody qualified in the top half wrote a big check for their engine.

Moving the index will not help the runaway advertised...hp factor train. Until they roll back the bogus hp factors the problem stays. I guess brushing up on writing skills is cheaper and easier to go fast. I can’t fault the folks who did it but it is a loophole that needs addressed and quickly..

What a mess! There is no proof that nhra is changing the indexes. And now we're getting into Ok boomer crap. Give it a break.

I doubt they will change the indexes but sure there will be plenty of excitement next week when they release the HP adjustments...especially if they hit 350 Novas But from looking at the NHRA registration website (looking at quotas specifically) they obviously mean to thin the herd some more at National events. One reason for not changing indexes is dealing out the low dollar/ starter cars. They really don’t want to run off too many and kill the cash cow (Divisionals). Also applies to stockers crossing over to Super Stock occasionally, would really hurt them.

OK Boomer’ is an ageist catchphrase and internet meme that gained popularity throughout 2019, used to dismiss or mock attitudes stereotypically attributed to the baby boomer generation.”
