Still awaiting the 2021 Quotas and Grade Point policy....tick tick.

I too went and looked for the class eliminations schedule yesterday and found no update. And like you figured no class at Indy, especially with the AHFS in effect.

Indy has to have Class. Us old racers live for that class trophy from the big go. This year was an exception, 2021 needs to have full class eliminations in S/SS, with teardown day for Stock, and teardown day for Super Stock.

I was told yesterday by someone that I'd rather not mention but class eliminations for the particular races have not been determined yet. Which races have class is determined by the competition department and have not been added to the schedule yet but will be once everything is evaluated.

The bottom of the NHRARacer.com does say this:

Stay tuned to NHRARacer.com as we announce quotas, class schedule and grade point structure in the coming weeks.

With all of that said - I noticed that Indy is only scheduled for Sept 1-5 (Wednesday - Sunday). I have a hard time seeing how they'll fit in S/SS class with one less day of racing if they're doing the All-Stars on top of the usual NHRA dog and pony shows. Maybe one qualifying run and then class on Wednesday?

Indy this year was only a 4 day race (Thursday Sept.3 - Sunday Sept.6), and they did the All Stars. So next year will have 1 additional day (Wednesday Sept.1). Assuming the Pros will continue to have Q1 Friday evening and Q2 and Q3 on Saturday; Class Elims. are feasible. Of course, with the NHRA making the decisions, who knows. We can only hope.

Its coming ! Just as I posted in the past. It will no doubt take awhile but do not be surprised when Stock and Super Stock no longer exists.

Would be interested to see how the bills get paid when there are no Sportsman racers there! Entry fees, and tickets for crew, friends and family members have to enter into their brain dead decisions sooner or later. ???

Don, do some quick math for us....how would insurance go down on sportsman races compared to "National" type races?
