I thought you still had to run at least .5 under to qualify and run eliminations?

Terry, I don't know if anyone else has chimed in on your question, but no you don't need to run .5 under to qualify & run eliminations. However, you did need to run .5 or more under your index to earn a class win...that is prior to this years enhancement for singles to have to race other singles (based on tranny types), in both Stock and Super Stock. In that case it's most likely the swiftest of the singles that'll win (reaction times being equal)! Sorry but class pays my car $100 bucks or maybe less now, so it's hardly worth it for me anymore, because nearly all of the contingency postings I enjoyed for class back in '99 are gone now, so it's pointless to me to care about class eliminations...the only good I see is that it's a pre-race experience to prepare me for regular racing conditions the next day!
