Indy - No AHFS

MikeFicacci · 08-13-2014, 01:11 PM

Why not? The shootout cars are being excluded. Why not treat Indy like an Open so that all can qualify (or try to qualify) with the same rules. If that is not to your liking, lets use half of it. Keep the 1.20 instant and get rid of the 1.00-under triggers for this race.

Indy is usually pretty slow but what if its not this year? What if the bump is .90-under or better? It may take triggering a combination to get in the show. What do we think?

Be careful what you wish for, it might come true.If you exclude Indy, might as well get rid of it altogether. Who will be the first F/SA car to run in the 9's?

I agree with you Mike. Indy is the "BIG SHOW" so let the racers put on a Big Show and let it all hang out. The few times I've been to Indy, I've seen to many games played that insult the integrity of the sport. Sandbagging big time, and racers fouling in class finals so as not to be invited to the barn. My two cents worth.

I agree no AHFS at Indy. I believe the reason most us built these cars is to see how fast we can make them. Not that I can go 1.00 under at Indy.....because I can't. The fast cars are going to get in if they want anyhow. Give us at least 1 race to have some "fun" at....the mecca of Stock/Super Stock....INDY! Although, I think they should do the same at all the Sports Nationals as well. I put on youth baseball tournaments for a living and we have to do things to entice teams to play with us. Like double/triple points, special awards ect. This would "entice" us to go to the Sports Nationals especially out here in the west where we don't draw that many cars for that event.

Thanks, Eric Bell
