Re: Index Change
NHRA could have approached the indexes a different way. They could've just made a valve spring pressure rule that would slow everyone up. Make it so that the pressure can't exceed 150 lbs on the seat. But NHRA doesn't want to work for their membership money which means testing pressures of the valve springs.

Re: Index Change
Div. and opens only count if you go fast enough for instant hp. 1.25 under the new indexes.

A lot of cars were bagging.I would not be surprised if it still took one second under to get in. Some fast cars were purposely staying home for fear of getting horsepower. |

Re: Index Change
Uhhhh...yeah thats so much cheaper for racers to implement.
So much easier to enforce So much better for the valve spring companies So much more convinient for the racer, so much easier for everyone to implment in a timley fashion. **** why dont we start using restrictor plates like circle jerks do. Sorry accross the board spec rule irk me off, I saw this in motorcycle racing, I also saw it abandoned Quote:

Re: Index Change
the only way this would be fair to everybody is to start from scratch with the HP. This system is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine?

Re: Index Change
The only people this really will hurt are the guys who could run -.30 or less! They have just relegated about 20% of the cars to being bracket racers! There will be less and less cars at Divisionals and National Events. Some people can't see what is happening. Jim
