AHFS at Indy?

The hit was to inflict as much pain as possible to a large group of over 30 racer with 69 Camaros. With the sanctioning body inability to open hoods now. They are now just bullies and dictators. The hay day of class racing is over. There policy are ruining the sport. No wonder so many are quitting.

I have lost runs for being to heavy and for being to light. With VP 12 have lost runs due to last week sample was different from this week sample.

So you put that in parody of intentionally contaminating a fuel sample so it won't count?
Suppose he was throwing weight out of the car before the scales, would that be considered the right thing to do to protect his average and fellow racers that run his combo?

It appears clear to me if you bypass them your hiding something or trying to avoid HP. My issue is I?ve heard stories of people pointing out they are cheating to avoid HP. The 6 month ban is no where near serious enough. 5 year ban would maybe prevent these lowlifes from corrupting the system.

Any contestant who posts an elapsed time that would result in an immediate horsepower or index adjustment, must report to Technical Services for validation of the run. Any contestant failing to report to Technical Services for validation of the run for (weight, fuel, etc., including ?driving by? the scales), shall be disqualified from the event and suspended for a minimum of six (6) months. The event shall be charged against the driver?s annual quota of scored events with zero points awarded. The NHRA retains the authority to recognize the validity of any race result, or time recorded, in cases where there may be attempts to discredit the run.

The decision to adjust horsepower or to reduce the index will be at the discretion of the NHRA Tech Department

I would say more racers move away from Stk and SS because of the increased cost of racing including entry fees, and plummeting payouts than lack of tech. Been thru a lot of tech in my nearly 50 years of Stock racing and I don't miss it a bit.

Stock class is still the biggest class in any division according to the point system.

Same here, new to stock eliminator in 2024. Raced super street and gas in the 80’s and 90’s. About 20 full passes on stocker -.761 best, I guess now the hard part starts, looking for those extra 2 - 3 tenths!
