But the mighty Gremlin might be able to hotlap like a bracket car now........assuming aluminum is better at cooling than the steel one......How much less does a aluminum one weigh?

I swapped an aluminum for a brass. the weight savings was minimal. The big savings was I went from a 2 core brass to a one core aluminum that took less water. That's where the real weight savings came from. The aluminum cools much better so you can get away with a single core. I think overall it saved about 10 lbs

The proof of the pudding of the new rules will be the Index that the new classes will run off of. To soft an index and the only thing that will change at the 2015 US Nationals will be the letters on the cars.

That's True Larry.

A lot of the FS Cars at Indy were running 1.2- 1.5 under that took up Most of the qualifying. Some Combo's should be lowered 2-3 tenths easy,
To Make It Fair !!!!!

Too little, too late. If the indexes are not realistic it will only help in heads up runs no matter what letters are on the windows .Cars that are not subject to the AHFS and those that require a chute do not belong in stock. Rick.

Wanna make it fair for qualifying? The only race it's an issue at is Indy. Make it all run 150 car field, with 5 alternates (if someone wants to make the trip and hope for breakage or whatever).That goes for Stock and Super Stock. It's so easy even a cave man can figger it out.

heck no, you got 23 other NHRA events like that. Keep Indy the way it is 180 entries 128 qualifieds. The Gators use to be a class event for stock and superstock, get it fired up again.

Larry, we can just bag it for a while like someone I know and we will be right back where we started, you understand that I know.
