Well, I'm usually doing two or three things at once, so I'm never real fast.

Speaking of Class Eliminations, has anybody heard "Officially" what the deal for winning class on a single is now that NHRA reduced all the Stock & S/S indexs 3 tenths.A few years back, they required a single car class winner to run at least 5 tenths under the old indexs. (As I understand it, for 2 or more cars, this 1/2 second under was not required, if the winner of a pair was 1 tenth under, and the 2nd car was slower, or redlite, that was acceptable).

Now with the lower indexes, is this 5 tenth under rule over with (on a single), or does a car need to run 8 tenths under the old indexes? Anybody "won" class on a single at less than 5 tenths under at a NHRA National event in 2010 yet? The NHRA website doesn`t seem to have any info on this issue.

Oh boy. First post.

I give, what's the difference between "Class" and "Elim".

Yes, I'm new. I'm trying to learn but I'm starting to think this stuff is deliberately opaque.

Travis or somebody may post something more authoratative and I seem to remember anything under the index wins a single car class but if you look at Bristol's class winners there were several singles for class that couldn't run under by very much. Bristol in the summer can be really slow.
