Re: AA/S and AA/SA index
Chad,
I don't have a dog in this fight. But I do stay in contact with some that do. From what I can understand about their feelings is that this is going to be a go fast class. They want to be able to run their cars out without having to play the slam on the brakes game to keep from getting hit, so they want the indexes tough enough to be able to do so. Jim |

I'd like to see the index in the 10.90 to 11.00 range. You will see ETs in the 9.50s if the conditions are right.

Re: AA/S and AA/SA index
An index of 10.90 to 11.00 is exactly what was requested when the suggestion of AA/S was made to NHRA.

Re: AA/S and AA/SA index
It was requested as either 7.0 OR 7.5, taking what we could get. We knew we might get the 7.5 break, but still wanted a 10.90 or 11.00 index, to give the cars room to RUN. Besides, at the time the 0.20 index drop was being considered. The idea was to let the cars take off excess weight, and go FAST, without the worry of getting hit with HP at every turn. Besides, it's not really that big a deal, unless you want to show your *** and run way under for a #1 qualifying position or something. Consider that with an index of 11.00, you can run a 9.61 without getting INSTANT HP. You can run a 9.86 and not even trigger a review.
