Indy AHFS Poll

[James Perrone]

Whatever Barry. I guess it’s ok for people to go 120 with no penalties
Sure what’s the sense . Just let everyone do what they want.
No tear down anymore. No tech. Who cares. I see that’s fine
But back when Bill Hawk was abusing you guys running the 396/375 it was OK to have the 120 under trigger. Correct? Say it ain’t so.

James I can't run with several fast cars especially the 2015 Camaro's. No where did I say the rest of what you said. It's my opinion to let Indy be the ONE National that there is no AHFS. At least Indy is one of the few races where there is a good chance if you do go fast enough you will be torn down. Or change the AHFS to reflect the improvements the cars have made in the last 20 years when it was first implemented. Have you seen the list of parts you can use now. It's not the same list that was there when the AHFS was started. BP

And James Bill's car with the specs it has should still be able to out perform the 396/375 cars. I laughed when I saw him pull an aluminum drive shaft out from under his 1967 stang. I doubt even the pro stocks had them in 67

I think they should tell everyone theres no AHFS then do it so everyone gets caught up in their own BS.

maybe its about time to reindex the classes themselves.

I dont see the fun in having more car then youre supposed to. I think if they want to catch people up in stuff they should start teching the cars that are letting off before the finish in class or qualifying. pretty obvious when someone is running .8 under but at 20 less mph than everyone else in class somethings up.

WFO. run your damn cars all out thats what we built them for. at least i did.

[B Parker]

Another no name that wants to tell me how to run my car. Send me a check and I'll run it what ever way you want me to. Better yet you build one spend a bunch of money and hours working on it so an antiquated AHFS can render it a slower car when your already not the fastest in the class. How about they fix the system and bring it up to date.
Epping had some great air and there were several cars that could have gone faster than 1.20. A lot of 1000 foot racing again. Epping was about 2 tenth faster than Indy and no one went 1.20 under. Why does anyone think guys will go 1.20 under at Indy unless their combo is so soft the hit will not matter. BP

[Tuki]

What’s the point of building a combo if you don’t have one big race to go air it out? At first I was bummed hearing it was in affect this year….With that said I guess I’m also for it as a few cars could use a HP wack. So how ever it plays out we will work with it

I would fair guess those with fast cars know their limitations. Well most do anyway. Some don't care about AHFS. Indy makes time for tear downs. Fast cars take good drivers to still hit the tree to avoid unwanted power added. Specially when class and heads up racing comes into play. Either way it makes for good racing in stock and superstock.
Both cars in the final of Epping found an extra 2 tenths when needed. AA/SA isn't the easiest class to run like they did. Hats off and Fun to watch!

[Jeff Dona SS3269]

At this time there are more stock and ss cars entered at the National event before and after Indy. Talked to a few people in Columbus this passed weekend and they felt the same way as me why was this done without getting the pulse of the guys that race Indy year after year.
