Has anyone changed their mind about AA/SA index?

I still say 12.00 index then you can let off at the 330 ft mark to protect the combo

is it true some cars can go more than 1.20 under and not get HP and all you guys want is 2 tenths, well of course you should get 2 tenths it should be 10.80 and those other cars should be responsible to get the HP like the rest of the class or just give us the 3 tenths back and make everybody responsible for their own fate

Chuck, I've always enjoyed running all of my race cars at the same venue as the hitters. It's the only way you can see where you stand with your combo. I was excited to be at the Grove last month with Shaul, but he broke. I really enjoyed meeting and racing with Brian and Ryan at Norwalk last week. I came within a red light of running them heads up which would have been a blast! A West Coast swing is definitely on my bucket list. I have tremendous respect for all you guys performances out there, especially at Vegas. I'm sure there is a learning curve to run at altitude. My program is about going rounds, lots of rounds. 11 per race weekend. 7 on race day. Playing the combo protection game allows me to run my car softer and still qualify better at most of the races I attend. I can't run my car on " tilt " every pass. Not only will it not make it to the finals, financially it's not worth it. You want the index to remain at 10.60 that's fine, I'd prefer it be a little softer at 10.70. If it doesn't get changed, guess what ? I don't really care.....until one of the new showroom Drag Pacs, Copos, or Mustangs come out in AA trim and run 9.50s all day long at 70% throttle. And it's not far off.

" NHRA adjusts AA/S and AA/SA indexes
After reviewing the request to adjust the AA indexes, and consulting with Sportsman Racers; the NHRA Technical Department will increase the indexes for Stock AA/S and AA/SA to 10.70, for 2016 and beyond. Part of the decision to change the indexes were due to the new Factory FS cars no longer permitted to run either class. "

Still a very tough index. It will give the guys that come to Indy an extra tenth to help them qualify.

Maybe should be a separate thread, but what's the early "buzz" on Indy S/SS qualifying bump....given average Indy weather, not mineshaft nor overly hot-humid
