Has anyone changed their mind about AA/SA index?

No doubt about it. Jeff is correct on every point he has just stated above (except 3 cases is too cheap) and I'm reasonably confident that something will be done about the AA index-and soon.

I was opposed to changing it but after looking at all the sides and opinions posted it really is nessecary to atleast make the present "AA" index 10.80.
I think what is really nessecary is a 7.0# weight break for "AA" 10.60 index and 7.5# for "BB" 10.80 index.

If NHRA would do a AA shootout, auto and stick combined, like the SS/AH shootout I believe there would be a lot of cars show from coast to coast. Run them back to back with the AH cars.

Indy at one time was a showcase for ALL classes. Class winners including singles made the show. I believe it needs to return to that format. If you win your class and run at least .500 under, which is good enough to qualify for a record, you are in. The $30k motors can fill out the field.

Why are AA/S and AA/SA records still open??? I've witnessed several passes in the 9.70's
