Casey, I applaud your efforts for going to Indy. You are going there to have fun win, lose or draw. Sounds like a great Bucket List adventure. Good luck.

Can someone remind me why there is no AHFS at the biggest event of the year where it would be most warranted and actually do the job it is in place to do?

Racing in the US Nationals has been something I’ve wanted to do since I was a little kid, watching my relatives race. This is the first year that I thought I might make it (really close). Good luck to all that are close. This is what I spent my money for!!

James Perrone Indy 2014 you went 95 under and qualified # 87. Now 5 years later I'm sure you are a little faster. But even if you have been lazy and haven't worked on your car that 95 under will still get you in. Stop complaining and come to Indy. You know you want to. Great place for you to get a sun tan. I will be there with my brother. We will cook you a cheeseburger!!!! And teach you the English language. BP

Update - Sorry James my brother says no cheeseburger for you.

Barry you are a very smart and capable man. But really do not think even you can teach James the English language we use!

Bobby x 2,
Indy is The Big Go. The original and the best. Right in the middle of the country.It's always been about going fast!

The current system is all we have but leaves a lot to be desired.
Look at it this way. Every year we get more go-fast goodies.NHRA can't seem to leave their hands off Stock.
Cars go faster every year, but the indexes stay the same for decades.
Everyone here knows the AHFS is being manipulated.

Back to Indy:
They let in 160 cars, so it takes almost a second under to get in, which is an AHFS trigger. 1.20 under is an instant hit...So, you would have 128 or more, trying to qualify or win class at the biggest race of the year, yet trying to work the system at the same time , inside a two tenths window.

I agree with NHRA on this one, (which may sound strange to some of you).
I believe it's a great idea to suspend the charade and the joke for Indy
