Those of us that got the email from Mike Crutchfield........ It says NO AHFS, none zip, nada, take the lead out and and bomb the record 1.20 under be damned.

They may be saying the ahfs is not in play, but I would be very surprised if they will let a -1.20 run slide.

I don't think a 1.2 under run should slide. If you can run 1.2 under you do need some HP.

1.20 under used to be 1.50 under, it just doesn't sound so far under. Looking at the original Final Qualifying in SS at Indy, the whole field was 1.+ under taking into account the .30 NHRA took off.....who'da thunk? #128 Joe Tueton was 1.022 under with the previous indexes.

With the old mind set of indexes, I think no one would argue that 1.50 under (anywhere, anytime) was deserving of a hit.

When is this race? I would definately go if we can run more than 1.20 under and not get hit, just to set the record.

IF NHRA allows this they can just about say bye bye to me...

why would you pick any sanctioned event and not enforce the sanctioning bodies written rules ?????

captain
however IF any organization would do something this stupid it would be NHRA

Maybe they want to put a little fun and entertainment back in the class. I bet it gets a lot of attention that it wouldn't have otherwise .... if it is allowed.

Wish I could go, I'm all for it!

Since there appears to be quite a bit of confusion and uncertainty about the AHFS for this race; I would think that Mike Crutchfield is the person that can clear this up.
